Test Me

They always say I'm delicate
But can't you see the storm thats raging?
Examine the ocean of my eyes
Watch, the clouds are churning

Dare tell me I am weak
You'll only make me stronger
Maybe I'm just a quiet girl on the outside
But let me show you the weapons I carry inside

Bind my hands in the anger of your words
Just watch me burn them back into ashes
I belong to myself first
So don't test my silent turbulence

Take everything I passionately love
Deprive me of my unwavering faith
Then look me in my ice cold eyes
And cower when you see I'm still smiling

Author's Note

I was incrediy angry while writing this. Hope you like it.

Intensity is a mine field
in which i gladly
run and cartwheel
as though
im on a beach
or flowered landscape
filled with explosive
possibility

"Maybe I'm just a quiet girl on the outside
But let me show you the weapons I carry inside"

Angry or not, after a long time I read something so powerful and gallant from you, I have to say I am pleased, I also like the metaphors you use.

[Briana O'Connor]

Words like these are so relatable to me. You portrayed the feeling of harnessing a monster inside till time is due with great power. well penned.

I enjoyed this poem, a lot. As always your word choice was on point, and this time, it seemed very daring. You said you were angry, when you wrote this, and it shows. "They always say I'm delicate
But can't you see the storm that's raging?" I love the confliction; the detail. It's challenging, almost; very well-written.

The emotions are very powerfully represented here. Silence before Storm.

[Eilidh]

Very well written, really enjoyed it. I could feel the emotion. The lines "Maybe I'm just a quite girl on the outside, But let me show you the weapons I carry on the inside" really stood out to me, I connected a lot with all of this poem but these lines impaticular.

[Dark Poet]

I'm glad. Thanks you!
