Truth be told, it sounds like the work of a stuck up teenage girl. I know that's what a lot of people are saying without having actually considering the meaning of the poem because of your past history with the forum, but I don't really give a shit about that shit, so let me break it down:
(Using "You," I'm referring to the author)
[quote]Wherever I walk, blood and bodies follow in my wake. [/quote] You're the center of attention everywhere. [quote]Wherever I speak, my lungs burn people at the stake. [/quote] People are captivated by everything you do/say. [quote]They're drawn to me, like moths to a flame.[/quote] "Drawn" playing on the mention of blood; meaning you attract people but don't feel empathetic towards them. [quote] It makes me crazy, it drives me insane.[/quote]
Pulling the victim card, and saying that your radiant beauty distracts from people's genuine attentiveness to you, and so you find it hard to communicate properly with them.
I'm not sure, I didn't interpret it very figuratively because I don't see you as someone to be genuinely interested in the level of abstraction that requires more context and is intertwined with allusion. I could be completely wrong, but that's what I'm guessing. Also, to whoever wrote this, they missed a killer opportunity to allude to the "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I shall die when I'm wake. I pray the Lord my soul to take" prayer, which would have completely altered how I saw the poem.

Have you ever touched a vagina?
-
Nope never touched a vagina. Never even seen a female, if we're being honest here. I'm a tiny baby in an incubator.

At least you'll live longer, women only cause death anyway.

Typing the word into his keyboard does not count as touching one

Wait. Are we talking about you now?
-
Wait a second....wait a second I see what's going on here! Oh how ironic. Looks like I'll have to cut off yet another pinky for my stupidity!

You're not even close. I'm not the original writer, thank you. Read the hashtags.

I never said you were nor was I directing my critique at you. Instead of telling people that they're "not even close," you should explain why they've missed the point. Poetry shouldn't be some sort cryptic message, it is meant to be interpreted, and for you to just tell people that they're wrong is absolutely ostentatious, and misses the point behind the art form.

They're not even trying, some of them, that's why I'm not elaborating. And some of the people answering; surely you understand....
-
I comprehend why you would give a bullshit response to a bullshit answer. I didn't give a bullshit answer. I'm genuinely interested in poetry. I just feel like treating its meaning as some locked away secret devalues the interpretive aspect of poetry.

That is an interesting way of putting it..... Check your PM's.
