You raise your hand to knock
me down
Flinching at the bellowing
Sound of your voice
Shrinking as you close
The distance between us
STAND TALL...
I am scared...Conflicted
emotions
You raise your hand to knock
me down
For you see the woman I want to be
Completely free
I\'ve seen the fear in your eyes
As the woman inside starts to rise
It occurs to me
YOU FEAR ME
Seeing the challenge in my eyes
Mixed with pity and despise
You will raise your hand to me NO MORE
As I walk out the door...
Defiantly
