Let Them

They want to come after me
Let them
They’ll see what fire brings
They’ll see what happens when my anger wins
When the control I have 
Slips the ring

They want to tear me down
Let them
They’ll see how hard of a rock I am
How hard it is to rip brick from brick
The tools they have
Aren’t fit for this

They want to cheat to win
Let them
They swear they’ll do anything
They don’t know what anything is
I’ve already done the things
They couldn’t even imagine

They want to come after me
Let them

This is for a dVerse prompt: I would like us to blend the concept of “Let Them” into a poem. I hope you enjoy! 😊
