You can’t kill me with your eyes,
or intimidate me with your lies.
I have placed a shield over my heart;
your words no longer tear me apart.
I won’t be fooled by your manipulation,
because I stand tall, unbothered by your intimidation.
I used to fear you, but now I see you, masquerade behind your misery.
Your taunting isn’t victory.
You can’t kill me with your eyes.
I look past them and behold,
He who is in me is greater
than he who is in the world.
– A.G. Ayuen
