Glimmer
Stunning yet vicious,
What a twisted combination.
Striking yet brutal
Always under the scale of intimidation.
I shall prove them wrong,
I shall win the fight.
This world never trusted me,
Until they saw me in the spotlight.
I am fierce and feared,
In the time of my fatality.
Child, I know you are trying to be brave
But I know deep down you fear me.
On top of the world is what I was,
I was menacing and could win, or so I believed
Until we found the girl from twelve
And I got what I received.
Shrieks and yells awaken my slumber.
And suddenly a swarm of millions of the bees,
Are over us, poised to attack
I trip and fall and under attack, but nobody truly sees.
Screams and pleads escape from my mouth
As tracker-jackers pinch down with such stinging force
The pain oh! the agony I go through, it's too much I screech.
Why, why is I to accept this miserable state of pain and remorse?
I see hallucinations and gory images.
Million upon millions stings cover my body,
I can feel the death sinking in, I can feel the poison.
Of course this dreadful fate would happen to some so pretty.
I try to fight
But the swarms are too strong.
I give up and cry, for my faith all gone.
I have to endure this pain for so long.
End my misery, end it now!
And as I breathe on last time,
I see the people back home, shaking their heads in disgust
Although I glimmer, I have no lust.
They were right.
