Is it me, or do I smell wolves in the trees?

I sense the counterfeits smiling with  appearance,
But reviling spirits.
Who take advantage of my weakness
And say that it's meekness.
What do they mean? 
Hugging my neck just to be seen!
Cutting my flesh with hateful thoughts.
Shooting me with bullets of envy.
Planting mines of craftiness and deceit,
They wait for me explode.
But little do they know, their wickedness, I've already known. 
I'm quite aware of their ignorant attacks.
Fall back, but watch the cracks.
It takes a foolish lion to hunt a mouse.
Catch me if you can. 
Let's agree to disagree. 
Arguing? But not in front of me!
You couldn't read me even with a pedigree. 
Is it me, or did I make the wolves flee?
