You were not meant for that.
You were not meant for
3 a.m. vomiting in the bathroom
Of someone you vaguely know through
Connections that hardly make sense.
You were not meant to be arm candy
You were not meant to be the idle one,
You are terrifying and beautiful
You take hold and take charge
And just because you are a woman
Does not mean you fit into that
Bullshit role they think you need to be.
You are the first one in line
You don’t follow, you make people follow
And even if you’re wrong,
You’ll make it look like you’re right.
You were not meant for the easy path
Your bones are solid sequoias
That cannot be cut down.
You were made strong and now you can
Survive the struggle.
You were not meant for beer,
You are the finest wine
And the driest vodka,
Nothing in-between.
You are simultaneously elegant
Yet bite with everything you are.
You are fine dresses and yoga pants,
And hardly anything besides the two.
You are boisterous and the more
Displaced you are,
The louder you become.
You are lavish parties and quiet bookstores
You were not meant to be held for long
You kiss and tell
You were not meant for petty relationships
You send the liars on their way
As soon as their time comes
You are stone and silk,
But you were not made for
The rough, or the gentle.
You were not meant to forgive easily.
You are vindictive and fierce,
You grab the sun, riding to Valhalla,
You have a gentle heart
But a fierce hand.
You were not meant for that.
You were not meant for that.
You were not meant for that.
