Scorpio

I may seem sweet and inviting,

but that’s nothing more than an illusion.

I make you see only what I want.

The real me is too deep and unfathomable.

Strike me down, I’ll come back.

Others think they know me

but how can you know a black sheep?

My sting is intoxicating, leaving one begging.

I hate liars, despise them really.

One little lie destroys my faith and trust.

If you actually care, you’ll be there!

I don’t waste my time; nor kisses.

If you want, I’ll hold the door 

and let you walk out on me.

I don’t care, I don’t need you!

All I need is myself!

Unless, by chance, my soulmate finds me—

only then will I fully open my heart.

The truths remain hidden, 

because no one understands

The pain and suffering, all locked up

behind my dark stare—

A whirlwind of emotions

observing the world.

Passion and potential in shadows.

I am the blot in a sea of white,

and no one understands

an outcast.
