I am a pacifist.

Compassion is my sword,
Sympathy is my armour,
Forgiveness is my shield.

When you hurt me, I forgive you,
I sympathize with the anger you feel,
And I nurture love back into your heart with my compassion.

Sometimes, this only makes you angrier,
Sometimes, this brings you love,
It is a risk I take, as there is no room for hate in a heart wherein resides love.
