Master of Emotion I must have been from another worldA superhuman teenage girl, Immune to each one of Their looks and advances. I had learned from others The magic powers of attraction But their electric touch couldn’t make me their puppet And their butterflies couldn’t infest my stomach So, many saw my powers as a threat An inhuman ability trapped In the body of a brunette, Something that they felt Needed to be fixed or eradicated, So, I hid it all away, and made Careful calculations Until I mastered the art of emotional reciprocation.
