FOR ME

 


for me, yes for me 

they came for me but couldn’t 

cause I was too sleek, too slimy 

so they had no grip for grab


I was vulnerable still but they couldn’t 

couldn’t penetrate despite their wiles 

their sweet words and rum 

I didn’t drown in their cajoles 


they sorted me out and were disappointed 

yet still they persisted to see me waver 

there and there I stood my pivot 

unflinching was my mantra 


I had a head full of wisdom 

wore a beret of knowledge 

a crested amour of discerning spirit 

how well do they think I’d fall?


yet still they persisted on me 

unguarded was their tongue lashing 

throwing jokes, then tantrums to create a scene 

but peace was in my heart, love is my smile 


for me they battled on

but they were already swimming in a failed mission 

I am never ordinary 

I’ve conquered fear and the world in my past
