Stand Up

Stephanie Alford
Wanting to throw
All of his words
Back in his face
Treating him the same way
That he treated me
But I refuse
To degrade myself
By stooping down
To his level
Just try to leave the past
Dead and buried
Hoping that its plague
Will stop spreading

    Amazed with your grace of words at this place. Keep them coming, rhyming and humming.
