I’ve always been quiet,
thoughtful, reflective.
I often put a mirror to myself
to see the image staring back,
or look at a negative
photograph to try to fix any cracks,
because I don’t want to let
the light fall out
and the night creep in
to devour my thoughts.
I stay silent.
Watching the world,
watching injustice
until I can barely breathe.
Then I have to release.
I will never bow to a bully,
as they throw their weight behind a glare
and leave a threat hanging in the air.
They wont take the smile I wear.
My demons have tried
for decades and failed.
What makes you think
a self-inflated ego
can beat this?
If a narcissist tries
to play games with me,
making me feel
I can’t happily exist
I’ll not stay in my place,
I won’t sit and wither
like a weed.
I won’t be the dirt
beneath your feet.
Try me.
Please,
but be prepared
I’ll not let your stains
get under my skin.
I’ll not let your darkness in.
I’ll pull on my biggest smile
and I’ll laugh,
dancing in the rain,
because you can’t inflict pain
on a dream
and I’ll keep bringing my light
to brighten the day
that has been clouded
with your negativity.
