Bad Ass Bitch

I fear you may forget sometimes

‘Cause I let you see me cry

How tough I am

The strength I hold

My power deep inside

If in your presence these eyes tear

If you feel emotion here

Consider yourself blessed

It means you’re liked and trusted

Means you’re better than the rest

Because I am powerful, bad-ass bitch

I can tear down this world at the slightest itch

One-breasted amazon

Medusa is my hair

My right hand’s name is Kali

She stays quiet, generally

Though she and Medusa’s stone gaze see

How I am treated by some man

I let them speak

Let them take their stand

They scream and howl as I walk down the street

And beady eyes view me as meat

Seeing not me

Not my pain

Not my power

Not my strength

They lash out

Rage like banshees

So that all greedy eyes they meet

Are answered with stones and bricks

Thrown in their faces

Then men bolt quick

So remember

When you hold me when I cry

That this girlie is a bad-ass bitch

Rattlesnakes melt under my fiery spit

If you see me

Pretty like a flower

Here’s a smack of reality

My beauty is that of a five car pile up

Blood spatters on broken glass

Metal and skin twisting into one

I am no amateur acting demur

More like Lucifer on a massacre

Skewering dicks on my scimitar

I am phoenix risen from beating hooves and flames

I hear those who call out my name

Medusa

Kali

Artemis

Shakti

I am mobile skyscraper of fists

A three-wheel Harley Davidson and I

Own the Interstate and the Sky

Allowing some to live

Choosing others to die

I collect roadkill

Place them inside

Dogs, jackrabbits reborn

From my magical womb

A soft, warm place

Brings beings back from their tomb

Regenerated Reborn

Relived Rebirthed

Fresh gleam in their eye

As if they’ve unearthed

A power a strength

Hidden

That’s the thing I gave

Will keep them alive

Far from their graves

So you remember

Next time you see me cry

There’s privileged few folks

Witness tears in these eyes

Consider it an honor

If I let you see my pain

If I tell you all my secrets

If I share with you my shame

If I should ever be romantic

Or tender in the sack

Take kind to my advice

That you better shut your trap

‘Cause it’s for you and me to know

And not for them to see

Even when I’m gentle

Falling like a leaf

Into your outstretched arms

To on your shoulder weep

You will remember

You must remember

Call me be my true name

I am strong woman

Artemis

Shakti

Tower of fists

Stone gaze

Medusa

Kali is my right hand

I am a BAD ASS BITCH!
