Used As a Door Mat No Longer
I've always been settling
When others are meddling
In my life never knowing
I'm upset and will start showing
My true colors that's been hiding
But they are burning and sliding
Up my throat and they will be
Released with intensity
That will shock you with surprise
The woman before your eyes
Is not silent any more
My emotional back door
Will be flooding you so much
When my feelings start to rush
Out of me because I can't
Stop this crazy insane rant
Those that ever did me wrong
Will get my wrath that's so strong
Because I'm no longer weak
My crazy and hot peak
Has been hidden and burnt out
Until one more scream and shout
Woke it up and made it start
Flickering so bright and hot
Sometimes people see my sweetness
As a sign of total weakness
There's only so much I employ
Before I shut down and destroy
The people who are so smug
Thinking I will only shrug
Thier nastiness off once more
That's how I was just before
I was forced to act upon
All the hurt, sorrow and wrong
I've endured from childhood
Growing I tried to be good
Not acting and retaliate
On this undeserving hate
Until someone goes to far
Pushing this angelic star
To the dark side of a world
Of demons that have hurled
Me into a place never known
On my face it's clearly shown
My fingers making a fist
My insides starting to twist
Feelings of a new kind
Start to fill my unclear mind
I no longer have control of
I'm about to push and shove
Right back without any frets
Bullies are gonna regret
Treating me like a door mat
I've had it and THAT IS THAT
