NO MORE by Michelle Olds

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
