Never did a more imperious courtesan live
I swear, you make the whores of Rome seem kind.
Did I not dress in enough green?
You cast your dark cloud over my conscience,
And even now I hear you quietly nagging
Like a gadfly buzzing around an ox.
I give you every waking moment I possibly can,
I give you only my fullest attention.
When I give, it is the best (I think) I can offer you.
And yet you shun me with your grey eyes.
I sacrifice more tears that I can count.
For years, I was your humble and loyal suppliant.
Wretched goddess, are you as passionate as I?
I favored your cold indifference,
But now has your marble face turned hot with anger?
I sacrifice my dignity and my health at your altar
Yet your hungry mouth cannot be sated.
Seductive beast, tell me what you crave.
Must I give up one pound of my Semitic flesh?

Yeah, it's been a while. Hopefully, this poem should explain why it's been so long. Also, anyone watching my scraps will notice the other thing that I've been posting lately. I hope that ~GlassOrchid doesn't mind the vitriol of this poem.
It's about science personified because I get so angry and upset sometimes with my studies. Points to anyone who giggles at the reference I made at the end of the poem. |

If holidays were twelve months long
And life were games and fun
And all the skies
Were filled with PSI's
...Would thinking still get done?

First, thank you <3 People always say suffering artist, but someone should really coin the phrase "angsty scientist" or something similar. But I guess even they could be called artists. True scientists like to suffer for their art, and I feel that I've suffered plenty.
And huzzah for good imagery! You might be able to tell where I pulled some of the images, like the comment on wearing green coming from Greensleeves. I'm still waiting for someone to comment on the very last line :3

"Du kannst, Du willst und wirst nie vergeben
und Du verteufelst sein ganzes Leben
treibst in den Wahnsinn von
maßlosem Zorn, Vernichtung und Rache,
Du bist zum Hassen gebor'n!"
