Nemesis

I sizzle With a fire built in my bones. It burns And courses through my veins, Igniting a fiery rage. Thoughts tear through me,

I’m a windstorm threatening to surge. Teeth gnash in an

Inexplicable rhythm. I ponder

Wonder Choose to believe that There is more than one side Of me.

My skin will drip off of me As if it’s been dipped in acid.

Avenge your desecrated body, They chanted.

Tear me apart﹘ Then build me up renewed. I know that I may be a temptress, But your Fate is surely

Doomed.
