Juliets' Sonnet #1

I left my Shakespeare girl dead in the dust.
For what, I do not know..For love? For lust?
No one to trust, I ran from those I feared.
God knows,I tried to fight the fires I neared.
So now,lands cleared,the soil burned for new,
But only for the jealous seeds of you!
I'm done with thinking all that's good is gone.
Iambic soft I'll sing my nurse this song;
So strong, like my Juliet was to be,
I'll force myself to find the best in me!
You'll see, as I set my own stage on fire.
I'll raise to balconies and then much higher.
No liar is this Juliet in flames,
Fourteen is too untouched to play such games.
And Shameless, I'll play her like no one could.
My tongue is this Juliets' cold steel and wood.
