Hold Me Back

Hold me back before I succeed

Hold me back before I blossom

Hold me back before I implode

Hold me back before I gnash my teeth and bite your arm off

Hold me back

I have heard this before, and I know, but the Impulse Queen part of me does not hear it until it is too late. CHOMP.

I took an assertiveness training class and we acted out scenarios in the 80's and the instructor was horrified by my misbehaviors. She kept yelling at me that it was assertive training, not aggressive training.
