Poem Commentary

For anyone who believes that I willnot kick ass for mine if I have to

Masquerade

I'm a beast meticulously disguised as a woman

I am the Jack of all trades

Alluring in many ways

Evidence of destruction without a trace

When you see me coming you'll think nothing of it

I’m a beast meticulously disguised as a woman

Wearing a lion's mane

Society beckoning to be tamed

I shall be and always remain

A threat

As potent as poison

As silent as cotton absorbing water

An explosion but as calm as death

I am still

Like the middle of the night

I can yield perfect minds to utter confusion

Frame your reality to resemble something of an abstract allusion

Literally take your breath away

You won't hear me

You won’t see me

But when you feel me

You should fear me

I will be something like the pavement cracking

Beneath your feet

I will shake your body harder than a finely tuned acoustic pulse

With no rhythm as warning

It'll only happen

As slowly as the forming of the earth

As abrasive as the Mesozoic

But as inevitable as breathing

Maybe at first

It'll wave by as nothing

Advisory: get a clue and take off running

Because I’m a beast meticulously disguised as a woman

Calamity is my mind running and wearing out the pavement

I am ready to annihilate, pacing my attack,

Awaiting my reign,

Dawning on the edge of glory

Beautiful as a flame

But as painful as the burn,

Appetizing as sweets

That makes your stomach turn

As intimate as lovers

Without ever touching

Painting pictures, ripping it apart, rearranging art to fit like puzzles,

I promise I will be

The surprise,

The shock,

The wonder,

The amazement,

The awe in every color

So even if you never see me

Please believe me

I'm a beast meticulously disguised as a woman

I'm a beast meticulously disguised as a woman...I like how you repeated this, then ended the poem with that line. Put emphasis on it. The piece was like controlled madness, if there is such a thing. Madness with a view to accuracy. The underestimation waits to behold the ultimate vengeance. Perfect choice for a title. Fits the piece well.

Your words hit it dead on the head, It was very controlled madness, the only victory I have over my emotions is my determination to greatness. Thank you so much for reading! You just made my entire day!

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
