He tried to provoke the storm of anger brewing inside of me.
And I so wanted to just let it out for I was tired and just not in the mood to deal with all these people.
But, I stood my ground and let you go on your way without letting my storm not just destroy any mean bone you had in your body but I mine as well.
I don’t want to regret snapping at you but, I know I can’t let you get to me.
Like you get to everyone else in your life, I won’t be your victim.
You provoke me to do better and put up a better shield that doesn’t let the things from simple-minded people get to me.
You can’t touch me with your sad words for I know and see you for who you are.
