Queen of the Mundane

 


You
crave control like an addict.
 
You
know-it-all-nothing.
 
You:
Ego fragile as tissue paper.
 
I see you
(even with my blind eyes).
 
I see right through you;
my Third Eye developed over time.
 
I stared at people as a baby; I read their minds...
they all ran away screaming.
 
I only smiled for my mother
(which secretly pleased her).
 
Now I bite my own tongue –
otherwise all Hell would break loose;
 
black bats and ravens
would darken the sky.
 
Sometimes
I even scare me, myself, and I.
 
Witch.
 
You
wouldn’t know what hit you.
 
You
wouldn’t even see it coming
 
until it was too late;
my words would eviscerate –
 
it’s in everyone’s best interest
that I bite down (hard) on my tongue,
 
feed on my own blood
(loose lips sink ships);
 
remain, not only blind,
but mute as well.
 
You
think you know me.
 
You
haven’t a clue.
 
You – fixated
on controlling the mundane.
 
Bitch,
it’s better for both of us
that way.
