Keep Provoking Me Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I try to be the bigger person but I can only take so much
Inside;
my heart’s filled with lots of love
You have to do me dirty for me to truly say I hate you
But that’s the point you have brought me to
The point I tried so hard to avoid
Now the feelings I once had in my heart for you are void
They’re plain dead
And although you try to bring me down
I won’t let you get into my head
I know that’s what you want
From the start I was always upfront
I won’t be kissing anyone of your asses
Especially when you constantly try to break me like glass
A person has a threshold
And so much is all I can hold
So keep tempting me
Keep provoking
And you WILL get an outcome
Just not the RIGHT one
So go ahead
And that’s all I have to say when it’s all done and said
