The first time your demon hand smashed against my fragile cheek,
Breathing crimson into the paleness of my soul,
Ten thousand needles slowly plucking at my torn and ticking heart,
The only time that i refused and uttered 'No'.
Chained to the belief that situations would improve,
You apologised and like a fool i took you back,
A toy used for your pleasure, and sadly, nothing more,
Would you have treat me differently if i was black?
You think that us women should indeed be seen, not heard,
Never bothering to speak up for our rights,
Well here is one proud female who's gonna give her word,
I will not be reduced to tears by you tonight.
I'm going to make you listen, even if you cut me till i bleed,
Even if your hand thrashes my face once more,
I will not give in to your unnecessary violence,
I will stand tall after you throw me on the floor.
I will rise from every insult, free myself from every beating,
Walk out and leave YOU crying on the floor,
Truth is i don't need you for shit, but you need me,
Even if you wanted sex and nothing more!
Straight down to the police station, report this incident,
Show the bruises that i gained from my decline,
Smiling all the while, as the lock you in a cell,
I don't love you, and I'm pleased to say, I'm doing fine.
