Poetry On Odyssey: Resent Is A Ferocious Warrior

One day she will learn not everyone is out to get her.

Red

Written from the point of view of what I would consider a warrior, who only has something to say when I am feeling resentful towards a situation or person. She will do anything to get her revenge and believes payback is best served quick and sweet. She doesn't care what the consequences are, she just wants instant gratification. I've learned to keep her locked away, but sometimes she still manages to get her share of punches in.


Little Warrior

Resent sits behind my teeth,

often becoming too stagnant;

feeling an unquenchable need to come crashing through broken molars and sharpened canines,

her hair flying and her eyes wild.

She is adorned with weapons that nobody taught her how to use.

A switchblade heart accompanied by a razor tongue; ready to attack anything that moves.

Defense is her middle name.

She blows embers with her kisses setting fire to everything that was too stupid not to see it coming.

The burn is slow and sweet, just addictive enough to keep 'em coming back for more.

Cinnamon candies laced with arsenic.

She bathes in thorns, the ones she has grown in her very own garden.

Lacerations cover her, but she doesn't bleed like normal, she glows.

Sizzling heat lamp coils for veins, flowing with blood cells caressed by magma

Time has hardened her, turned her skin rose quartz and her heart to glistening diamond.

Life has taught her only fools will load their crossbows with flowers, if you want to survive you must aim to kill.

Always ready to shoot with a fatal arrow.


One day she will learn not everyone is out to get her.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
