Stop Poking the Lion
by Melissa PantherHave these promises been made before?
Your approach feels
Familiar
Do you remember what was said?
Something is being forgotten
You are already forgetting
Dont catch me up
I cannot conform
Or ease
Into your
Routine
I am not convenience
My hours are not made to
Please
There is no taking
For granted
Succeeded by
Furious moments of
Soul satisfying
Forgiveness
You will rewrite my
Words
Into your reality
Directly sharpen
Pardon,
Stop poking the lion
