I m glad it makes you feel tough and big
when you humiliate me, glad you think you
grow in stature when you turn upon me
Only sad thing is I m not a worthy opponent
I sincerely believe that bullying me reflects
negatively, luckily my words have no value
My ideas are lacklustre and boring in your
exalted eyes, you have weighed me in the
balance of your opinion, found me wanting
I have learnt to happily desist from trying to
tell you anything, such sacrilege has been
destroyed totally; in spite of what you do
My core is sweet, filled with ideals, books and
dreams, I fill my cup at the fount of the best
thinkers and teachers I find, I live my life
In my mind, you win every argument by power
and force, aggression and noise; but you can-
not touch my soul, your unkind attitude
Cannot destroy my delight in kindness, my
belief in romance; I am in love with the
intelligent energy of awareness, Nothing
in this world of illusion can lessen the divinity
I see in unconditional acceptance
