Listen to poem:

Bullet Proof

So, do you tell all your friends that you have loves gun to my head?
 My legs work just fine it's easy to get up and walk away from this bed
   Love is not       a chain welded for your misuse
 My heart's             not 
an anvil for your hammer
to forge my abuse
For all the depth 
and warmth to you 
that my eyes did show
You are about to find 
out how deeply low my 
heart's A/C can go

i find this a very intriguing short free verse - i like the way that questioning opening line pulls the reader right into the poem.:)

I am very flattered by the praise! It was my whole intention that this piece cause discomfort. While still giving a sense of empowerment to those who are in difficult situations. Warmly A.S.
