Judge a book by its cover, you’re a fucker
You think you can rein me in, lead my way
Say whatever the fuck you want to say
You don’t know me, the truth I keep inside
I hide from assholes like you
Narcissistic assholes like you
Rein me in and rain on my reign?
Your fangs drip to suck a life
But all you’ll get from me is my knife.
I’ve met your kind before
You think you’re the first?
shooting acid with your words
aiming for me like errant pinballs
In my life I’ve uncovered many stones
at times, underneath crawled poisoned toads
Rein me in and rain on my reign?
Not bloody likely, I don’t fucking think so!
Get ready to fail & fall on my sword
I’ll reign o’re your thoughts like plague to flesh
slowly eat them alive until only woe is left
I’m not your sick interpretation
I’m the definitive superlative final resignation
the new definition for your mental pain
thought you could rein me in and rain on my reign?
I’ll leave you visibly shaken
laugh as you twitch— and as you beg for abjuration;
I’ll just call it a day and smile as men in white drag you away
Written by Nathalie, Antony and Matt
*Collaboration with my bros Antony and Matt: Antony led the way with instructions for me to follow (I was happy to be his bitch and do his bidding) and for Matt to close the whole thing — Matt, I SO love how you finished in full gangsta rap style! This was a really fast write but I like it, I can see Eminem performing it 😎 Thank you guys, as per usual it was unpredictable and SO much fun. Oh, and I love you both, but you already know that 😘 *
😛 gangsta gangsta! It just felt right, so I had to! Thanks for writing with my Nat. ❤ ya twin sis!

Well, you’re obviously an Antony fan and who could blame you? 😊
I take credit for the pic, I’m really particular with the art I use on my blog and if I have to collaborate, I always throw in my choice before the others have even had a chance to look for anything (guilty, I’m a pushy bitch!) lol

I tell you, one of my own teachings, which is that “No response is a valid response,” is the trickiest thing to remember to utilize. When it comes to people who are what I think of as vampires, and to which I’ve alluded as predators, it really is possible to pretend such persons don’t exist. “Ignore”ance is bliss, yes? Partial bliss. People who are soul-suckers tend to be PERSISTANT. I wish I had a magic wand.

Really powerful… “I’ve met your kind before, You think you’re the first?” something I need to remember when I come across someone for the second time. Thanks
