Halt

Amy

What are you good at?

I am hijacking this prompt. Another ego-based prompt? No thank you.

This poem is dedicated to all of the men out there who think the space I take up in the world is theirs in which to encroach upon.

Who do you think you are?

All of you

None of you

Were invited

I don’t want to hear any niceties

Any hello, I miss you

Stop thinking about me

Stop writing about me 

Stop talking about me

Stop contacting me

Stop showing up

Stop

All of you

There is nothing for you here

I am not Mother Fucking Teresa

I am not always nice

I will show no mercy

When I sense a threat

I don’t want to know you

I want to forget

I love words. And animals. Photography and fedoras. Welcome. And stay awhile.

      1. It came across as “I am Amy hear me roar and if you cross me, I’ll show you the door” I like it. Being beautiful isn’t a sin. Placing generalities expectations on someone because of their looks or lack their up is not a good thing. It is a big sin.

        Thank you for sharing to me. You deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Great writing came across well. I think Bumble Bees would be really proud. 🐝 😊

      2. I totally agree. I like your perspective on expectations based on the outer shell. It’s also true that people are attracted to the inner lightness. But they don’t realize there’s darkness within everyone. Ideally, there should be a balance of the two, but sometimes that gets off kilter. I sure hope the bumblebee would be proud. I think the wasps and hornets most likely are, they are feisty wee ones. 😄
