Sakhmet

I know all your secrets,

I know all your flaws

For I am the lioness

I’ve got you in my jaws

Tell me all your secrets

Tell me all your flaws

For I am the lioness

I’ve snagged you with my claws

I’ve become the predator

You’ve become the prey

So you’re going to listen

To all the words I say

Because I know all your secrets

And I know all your flaws

For I am the lioness

Your life rests in my paws

You can’t make me turn away

You’ll never make me cry

All the tears I shed for you

Are already dry

And If I ever cry again

It won’t be for you

For I am the lioness

And I don’t take orders from you.

This poem is named after the Egyptian Goddess Sakhmet, the fierce wild cat goddess. I wrote it as a song, a taunting, empowering song. That whole ‘na na na, na na naaa!’ taunt everyone has heard n many different versus rang into my head the other day, and odd words fired back at it. I wrote this as an empowerment, to make a statement some people will understand, some won’t. But I’m writing this for the people who will. If you like this poem, please visit my website to view more.
