Can’t Kill Me With Your Eyes

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
