Bad Influence
written by: Karen Southall Watts
@askkaren
Encourages free thoughts and free expression
refusing to bend to the will of others.
Dangerous.
Says out loud what everyone is thinking,
or what no one previously considered.
Scandalous.
Takes risks, and shows the scars,
willing to let you be you.
Perilous.
Shakes the foundations of the world,
and the nerves of the deceptive and meek.
We call her Grandma.
