You Don'T Scare Me... Poem by Nikki Taboada

I Can See Through Those Intimidating Gestures
I Can See Through Those Taunting Words
You’re Lost In A World All On Your Own
You’re Trying To Defend Yourself Against An Offense That Doesn’t Exist
Kinda Like A Child Trying To Find A Way Home
Kinda Like Putting Up Barriers Against A Force You Can’t See
No, I’m Not Affected By Your Little “Act”
No, I’m Not Just Another Stupid Person Who Takes Your Attitude As Fact
You Don’t Scare Me

I Can See Through Those Glaring Eyes
I Can See Through Those Harsh Treatments
You’re Lost In A World You Don’t Understand
You’re Trying To Fight Off Something Inside Yourself That You Can’t Hide
Kinda Like A Baby Born Into A World Where Everything Is Utter Nonsense
Kinda Like A Way To Destroy The Things You Hate About Yourself
No, I’m Not Affected By Your Intimidation Tactics
No, I’m Not Just Another Ignorant Person Who Labels You Before I Even Know You
You Don’t Scare Me
