Violent Syllables

By Me

You must learn
quickly
that I am
an unusual gem.

Beloved
and Resistant
to all that
burrow beneath
the walls.

I will
destroy
you
before
you
ever
hurt
me.

Delicate
to the core,
indestructible
on the surface,
I am a perfect
pearl.

You must realize
quickly
that you need
me more
than I'll ever need you.

My violent syllables
will swallow you whole,
stabbing your soul,
cementing your world.

All is for nothing,
I will not bow.


Be real

or

Be gone.
