you’ve forgotten that
i was raised by fire
and if she taught me anything
through every burn she left
it’s how to be angry
you’ve forgotten that
a single spark
will ignite the gasoline that
flows in my veins
in case of fire,
get the fuck out
you’ve forgotten that
if it’s fight or flight
i will always choose fight
i’ll never throw the first punch
but i will throw the last
you’re kidding yourself
if you think
i’m going to make myself small
for you
i’ve done that
i’ve been small
i’ve been quiet
i’ve been calm
never again
