Bulletproof Vest

A rebel at heart,

I've fallen in love

too quickly before

with savages

who masked

themselves

as kings.

Let them be

foolish & cold

with a 

deceitful heart.

Heaven was made

for angels...

I'll wear a 

bulletproof vest,

until the time

is right for me

to understand

I am too powerful

to be a slave.

[John the Baptist]

Sounds like one who has learned, or is learning, from experience. It can be a brutal, but effective teacher. Liked the brevity and the spare and clear expression.

[Crowley]

That last stanza is fierce and very well written. It takes a lot to stand back up after being lied to and be stronger than you were before. Loved this makes me proud!!!
