How do you expect

Me to forget

All of what you've done?

Your'e sitting there thinking

What are you doing?

As my heart heals from your strum.

You played me,

Played me good,

I'll give you credit for that.

I do deserve 

Every harsh word

You threw and hollered.

You beat me with your hate,

And I guess that's all great...

Until you decided to knock on my gate.

I thought you understood

How little I could stand

And what I put at risk.

I think it's time 

For you to decide.

I bet you want me to die!

But....

No buts!!

I can't say I disagree.

My life is not a fragilty.

I've been hit,

Slapped,

Neglected,

Abused.

I can only fight the battles you choose.

So I decided

That only for the best

I would fight back

(I might need a bullet-proof vest).

You yanked on my hair,

I scream with disgust,

And then without thinking,

I did what I must.

POW!!

With my ring on,

My fist held tight.

You said with a cruel smile,

"You hit me!"

Yeah, that's right.

I say it with no shame,

No disagreement at all.

I really didn't mean to,

But I'm glad i did overall.

YOU put your hands on me,

I simply fought you off.
