Defiance
Inside I am
Defiant
resisting him
on the surface
tears trickling
entreating him
please stop
mind inquiring
how could this be
befalling me
If I am
asleep
wake up! wake up!
reality I am
living
anger is rising
he will not take
without
my permission
not trespass without
my consent
I begin to
yell
I begin to
fight
I kick his
weapon
he bends over
writhing
in pain
he grabs for
me
I kick again
he's gasping
I'm running
yelling
crying
outside I am
defiant
he did not
take
what belongs to
ME
MY DIGNITY
MY SELF RESPECT
MY LOVE FOR ME
