RAGE

Beat me down 
Come at me 
I will not stay 
I will not listen
You do not own me
And you are no better
As if you've changed
into a dark evil being
Call me a bitch 
Smack, Slap, Hit
Threaten
Adrenaline.
Pound.
I will not Stop.
Neither will you.
But I am no better.
Get in my face
I do not back up
I do not show weakness,
You see, that's the thing bout me,
I don't back down
Fuck it
You don't listen
You don't know
So you Fuck with me
But I won't bend down
backwards over your 
wants and wishes.
I don't work for you
I don't get you and 
your wild reaction
I wasn't expecting
that explosion
Anger, Rage
Red Black Blue
Everybody get
Back 
About to blow
But I do not let go
No, I stay 
Yell all you want
I will not be told
by you what I tell
myself everyday 
That I'm wrong
Worthless.
If you say it,
it becomes 
True.
Then it's Real.
I need some sense of Solace
A shred of dignity 
To Survive.
STOP!
