I’ve spent years replacing my bones with steel and my skin with leather
so that my blood, organs, and veins could reside safely inside a shell resistant to negative forces

I’ve placed permanent plugs in my tear ducts
and sliced the muscles that allow the corners of my mouth to droop downward

I’ve turned my body from an average land vessel
to a shatterproof life vessel

Your words are like a thousand bullets fired from an army of hate
but they are not piercing my exterior

Keep trying.

Ahhh, here is your answer. Very good work, Amber!

But I firmly believe, that not steel or leather etc. make us really shatterproof, that is an illusion, the most powerful shield against negativity is love. Nothing can penetrate you if you wear your shield of love. Everything bounces back at the sender and eventually the sender will surrender.

Better if he stops, wouldn't encourage him to keep trying, better if the lesson is quickly learned.

Love,
Margherita
