Gravity

you try to keep me down like gravity
all you do is lie to me
spit in my face and laugh at me
who do you think you are
I've come too far
to let you take me back
to a point in my life 
where i felt so bad
so it makes me mad
to hear those words
come out your mouth
you don't have the power
to effect me past a hour
I'm too strong
to listen to your words, that are so wrong
speak your lies
throw your jabs
its ok
i can take it

I'm glad you have the strength to avoid getting back into a relationship with someone who brings you "down like gravity," Chamonique. And I admire your determination too. Thanks for sharing, love, Carolyn
