Being soft
in a concrete world
does not mean
I am fragile.
My compassion,
My Empathy
does not mean
I am easily
swayed
or
pushed over.
Being a lover
does not mean
I am incapable
or unwilling
to fight.
Belief
in the good,
seeing the glass
half full,
does not mean
I am naive.
It's not arson
to burn a bridge
already in flames
from burning
wrecked
cars
that you crashed
I am not a
delicate
little
flower.
I
am a
land mine.
don't step on me
