Because I am a princess in pearls and combat boots.
Clothed in lace and leather.
I will curl my hair and kiss you with poison pink lips, make it so you will never stop loving girls with pretty words and thick skin.
You will respect me for the walking contradiction that I am, for the girl I am, for the woman I am.
And when you’ve forgotten my love, you will remember my passion.
You will never say “I’m sorry” for the good.
You will redefine “the good.”
After me, you will be a different you.
Because I am a rattlesnake, whiplash, honest soul, brutal truth, soft heart, big mind, open road, closed book, storyteller, miracle, music, laughter, poison pink lips, and love, love, love.
