I'm not bullet proof
BOOOM!
one escaped…
BOOOM! BOOOM!
two escaped…
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
three escaped…
ENOUGH!!!
Your words are like hot tipped bullets,
They’re piercing my soft skin,
And once you’ve fired your shiny gun,
You can’t take them back in…
You aren’t thinking straight
They’re pouring out
This is unexpected
from your perfect pout…
The words are harsh,
The words are cold,
The words are mean,
The words are bold…
Stop this battle you’ve started with the world
And keep your thoughts to yourself,
For the grudges you bear are larger than life
And the words that you shout are filled with strife…
I'm not bullet proof by Fiona Christensen
This poem is about people that are tactless and can say so many mean things as girls often do without thinking of the consequences that follow. And sometimes words are just as bad as bullets, they can be so hurtful and leave a painful blow that remains with one forever.
It is also inspired by Nelspon Mandela’s quote “Words are like bullets, once they escape you can’t take them back in”.
I love my camera and i hope my camera loves me. So spread the love and love my work.

Very powerful write. I can feel the rips as they pass through. Well done.
Wow thank you so much! This poem was inspired by a few people and just today did they shoot their gun again and it just broke my heart. Though luckily i wasn’t the target, but still it is such an awful thing.
