My writings: Poetry: Your words are not for me

Your words are not for me,
they are for the ones
who want to be hurt,
who want to dwell
in the pain
you want to give them.

Your words are not for me,
because I choose
them not to be.

You say them to me
and hope to see
my reaction
my pain.

It would give you
such a pleasure to know
that you can hurt me,

but
your words are not for me,
I'm not going to give you
the satisfaction of hurting me.
