Made of Silk



You're going to meet many people
With domineering personalities
The loud, the obnoxious
Those that noisily stake their claims in your territory
And everywhere else they set foot on
This is the blueprint of a predator
Predators prey on gentleness, peace, calmness, sweetness
And any positivity that they sniff out as a weakness
Anything happy and at peace, they mistake for weakness
It's not your job to change these people
But it's your job to show them
That your peace and gentleness
Does not equate to weakness
You may always appear to be fragile and delicate
The thing is, you’re not fragile nor delicate
I compare you to a silk
People mistake silk to be weak
But silk can protect the wearer from a gunshot
Many people will want to befriend you
If you fit the description of what they think is weak
Predators want to have friends they can dominate over
Because that makes them feel strong and important
The truth is, predators, have no strength nor courage
You are the strong one with courage
In an attempt of getting rid of predators
They’ll accuse you of being deceiving
You’re not deceiving, you’re just made of silk
They are the one who is wrong
Taking gentleness and fairness for weakness
Assuming that what is silent is weak
And presuming that what is loud is strong
There are many more predators out there
who are looking for people to domineer on
So I want you to be made of silk
