does my presence displeases you?
your eyes study me from head to toe
do you see Cleopatra in me?
disgruntled to see me poise and self-assured
livid stares that only God and I can identify
baneful motives that are waiting on the shore
are you waiting for me to look down on myself?
you can swear all you want
but your derisions can never disrupt me
between you and me, someone will be
at the deck of discomfiture
rest assured, that won't be me
