Stinger

My tail is sharp like a whip,
pointed at the tip,
ready to strike you down
when you try to bring me to the ground.

They say don’t mess with a Scorpio,
but I’m not all bite,
even though I will always fight
for what I believe.

You may deceive me,
but I’ll come back with a vengeance.

My Aquarius moon begs for understanding,
and it’s not until you crush all my trust
that my demon side comes out.

We live in an age of lack—
and I won’t back down
when it comes to the things I deserve.

I’m adventurous, that’s what you see—
it’s the Sagittarius rising in me.

I just want to have fun,
Explore the world around me,
but I’m trapped…
and it’s crushing me.

I’ll give you a million chances,
but at a million and one
you’re done.

I’m mysterious, but an open book.

I’m hilarious, but serious as a heart attack.

And for all the things I lack,
I make up for them
by continually learning,
yearning for more and more.
