Nope. No ma’am.
You’re not gonna do it.
You are not going
to be able to make me cry
again.

Whatever tricks you have in mind
whatever treachery
I’m ready for it.
I’m prepared.
I’m strong enough now
emotionally equipped
to take anything you can dish out.
I’m waiting,
ready to react
and respond and
if necessary
to reattach any parts
you ought break off of me.

I’m on top of it.
I’m on guard against you now
and however you play it
I can handle it.
You’re not gonna make me cry again.
Try it.
