you strike me down
but I do not fall
you stab my chest
but I live on nonetheless
you hurt me a thousand times over
but my wounds do not last
bulletproof
I cannot be taken down
beautiful
wild and savage and scarred
diamond
shining and stronger than steel
titanium
I will not be taken down by you
shoot point blank at my forehead
bulls-eye
but I do not die
mercury in the water
nightshade in the food
but I am not choking
injection in my arm while I sleep
but still I awake
bulletproof
I cannot be taken down
beautiful
wild and savage and scarred
diamond
shining and stronger than steel
titanium
I will not be taken down by you
