PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Stab me with a thousand knife points

     And my heart still beats strong

Lash me with a thousand whips

     And my pride still stays intact

Shoot me with a thousand bullets

     And I still stand upright



Stab me with a thousand icy tongues

     And my heart will bleed dry

Lash me with a thousand cruel insults

     And my pride will be crushed

Shoot me with a thousand evil glares

     And I will fall to my knees



I may be able to take your blows

     And survive them unscathed

Yet any evil against my emotions

     Will render me powerless

And much like the volcano impregnable

     I can be destroyed by my weak propensity
