Unshaken

I don’t think you fully understand the power I will.
You mistake my humility for fragility
I may appear to be a weak vessel,
But baby didn’t they tell you appearance can be deceptive?
This weak vessel has sharp edges, edges that cuts deep causing you to bleed to a stupor.

I don’t think you can comprehend my grit.
Unless I do not want to, unless it means nothing,
Probably doesn’t ignite a fire in me.
But baby, I am no weakling. Certainly not a push or walk over.
I pursue only those things that will cost me.

I don’t think you fully understand my heart.
How I am wired or what fuels my drive.
My unwavering compassion and kindness.
My empathy and generosity.
Even at the expense of my comfort.

Baby I am all shades of heart and soul,
To put me in a box would mean solitary confinement,
And breaking out is nonnegotiable.
I have seen it all,
Unshaken is my resolve.
