Like a Bee

Maybe I’m sweet as honey,

But I promise I’ll sting

You like a bee.

Please, don’t

Underestimate me.

Do it for your own safety.

---

My body glows

With brighter light

Than rainbows.

Darkness also bursts

Just beneath my seams.

---

Don’t run from me,

I beg you please.

Hold me close,

Put my mind at ease.

---

If you care for me,

Allow me to grow,

I’ll be a force that gives

Breath to all.

---

Without me,

What life

Would there be?

---

Place value onto me

And I promise

I’ll return the favor to thee.

---

Love me now,

And I’ll love you forever

Until the prettiest

Of flowers wither and die.
