Tooth and Nail

©Stacie Sandall


Push me down.
See what happens.
Tear my heart.
Let it scar.
I'll stand up
ever stronger.
I'll be taller
than you are.
Push me down
with your tongue.
Leave me there.
Watch me cry.
Leave me weeping.
Turn your back.
Walk away
as I dab my eyes.
Push me down.
Keep on sneering.
Keep on thinking
that you're right.
Just so you know,
my emotions
won't be damaged
without a fight.
