I’m a bullet proof vest

When you challenge me it’s not a test

I’m the new meaning of success

As I progress and impress

 

The girl I like

And speak through the mic

And strike to a force

Impenetrable but

Fixable

Like a principle but

 

She just pushes me away

From her heart

As I start

And be smart

 

As I play her game

And try to claim

Her blue flame

With no shame

Nor aim

 

But a stain on the white shirt

As I flirt on this earth and blurt

The words that come out unsaid or unalert

And then she says without saying you’re not worth

This secure mind that is so kind and you can’t

Impress this design that is define from the outside

But at least you tried with pride that dried in the dim

Light.
