DEFENSE MECHANISM
Hesitant, unsure of my next move
Gotta prove my skill, ability
Soon you will see that I'm capable
Not culpable as you suspected
Though a new respect would be my reward
I don't wanna be adored, just rated
Not consecrated, or celebrated
Not run the risk of being hated
So understand the gist, the direction
And why reflection is so crucial
A blunt and brutal self-assessment
A testament to my own status
In the creator's master plan
No disaster can undermine me
Flood and fire cannot intimidate
Underestimate me at your peril
And where all this is leading to
If you're reading through all the bravado
The hard... no, the hardest thing to do
Is to drop my guard and make peace with you

I know the hardness of the truth in your conclusion. Never an easy thing to do. I love the rhyming play as well,
