Stop Your Poison

Does my confidence surprise you?

It shelters me from your piercing lies

Does my passion threaten you?

It shields me from your staring eyes

Rest assured that this confidence grew

From a tiny weak seedling inside

It took years for it to brew

Now it is strong and will never hide

My passion is a colorful canvass

With shades of red, yellow and blue

It will never break for it is not glass

It only grows, determined to shine through

Your stabbing words, envy and deceit

Will turn your soul a darker shade

Fill your insides with poisonous conceit

And help you slowly wither and fade



Keep your toxic feelings to yourself

Dust your conscience that’s on the shelf

Stop the negativity from escaping your head

Or your blood will soon turn to lead

Does my confidence surprise you?

It shelters me from your piercing lies

Does my passion threaten you?

It shields me from your staring eyes
