Never mess with a girl who likes to write, because sooner or later, she’ll put up a fight. She won’t stamp or slap, or scream and shout, she’ll put pen to paper and let it all out. Words will flow and ink will spill, and that is how she’ll eventually kill your rumours, gossip, and salacious lies, restoring her sanity, reclaiming her life. She’ll share with the world the ugly truth, that her silence buried deep inside. Shining a light on all that is wrong, with the world you’ve created, where she doesn’t belong. The key to her freedom is one verse away, so, think about that before you say even one more word to provoke her further, because that, I fear, could lead to your murder. Death by verse, riddles, and prose, as every day, her readership grows. You no longer possess a starring role, in the life of this writer’s poetic soul. Just a badly written villain, in a dreadful plotline, to be edited, reworked, cut out of the rhyme. Forgotten entirely, banished to trash, to make way for the twist (drum roll, cymbals CLASH) For here she comes, galloping in, laptop aloft, new chapters begin! Yes, my friends, the true hero of this story, the writer herself, in all her glory!
