I am not the way you thought,
a puzzle piece that doesn't fit.
Do I upset you?
I dance to my own rhythm,
speak in colors you can't perceive.

Don't I allure you to think about me?
I linger in the corners of your mind,
echoing like a haunting refrain,
too persistent for you to say no.
I watch your bitterness bloom,
a dark flower in the garden of your heart—
it's so sweet,
this nectar of your discontent,
a feast for my restless spirit.

Your deprecation feeds me,
a banquet of sharp words and heavy sighs,
fueling the fire of my defiance.
I thrive in the shadelet you cast,
a flicker of light in your gloom,
unfazed by your thorns,
growing wild in the chaos of your thoughts.

So keep me there, in your tangled web,
a reminder of what you cannot grasp.
I am untamed, unyielding,
a tempest in the quiet of your mind,
and I thrive in the chaos you can't escape.
