𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒆…
Unless I’m provoked.
If you reach for me with entitlement. Grasping for something You won’t give yourself, I will bare my thorns . Cling to me And I’ll cut you away . I’ll liberate you from the lie That anything outside of yourself Can make you whole . You call me the Devil Yet you won’t look at your own demons in the eyes . I’ll devour them, With great delight. . When you defend yourself And feign your innocence You refuse yourself the truth And that is a sacrifice I will not make . I will raise my sword And fiercely protect That which I know . If you dare enter Before I say “come in” Then you’ll likely never get my invitation . Approach with respect And I’ll exude my most sublime fragrance And reveal my most tender love
.
And you will know the truth of who I am
