Falling While the Once Hurt Rises

You may shout your thoughts to me You may get angry with me You may hurt me You may break me You may watch me as i break and fall while your self esteem rises As i bleed As i fall As i fight While i struggle I do it so i don't hurt you, like you hurt me You may hurt me You may break me and watch me fall I might even be broken, I’m not going to have you fall when you have already fallen This might be your way to get up I won't take you down with me like a ship sinking and the people rushing to get to safety You can float the boat while i drown I will let you take it out on me I will deal with the duress actions At least i won't break you…..like you did to me!
