Petty Miss Harmony
Truth is syrupy,
truly viscous,
yet vicious,
embedded with irony.
What made me soft,
burns their tongue now.
Their boring bitterness
meets my sweetness
I find my niche—
I braid the leash.
I corrupt their feed.
Sweet enough to swallow—
slow enough to trap.
I spit it back.
Sticky as honey,
call me petty,
tag me Miss Harmony.
I am not here
for the taste.
You are.
