Did i appear weak to you?
Was that it?
Did you think me some gullible innocent creature?
Some toy to be tossed around?
You don't know me...
and you never will.

You thought to take me in,
make me your puppet.
You thought that I should bow down before you,
licking,
every single droplet of sweat from your body.

You thought that I should cower,
when you raised your hand.
And you must have thought
to break me.

Let me tell you something,
be real quiet, and listen closely.

Weakness,
is only an illusion.
Real strength lies within,
where it cant be seen or touched.

Do you remember all those times you raped me?
Flesh on flesh.
Hard and brutal...
such violence.
Mind to mind,
manipulative and cunning,
the silent rape.

You thought that you had succeeded in capturing my soul.
You thought that you had blown out my flame.

Let me tell you something,
you stupid, little fool...

You thought wrong.

I can so relate to this with a past partner I once had.  He truly thought me weak, but he was very wrong!  Turns out, I'm even stronger than I ever thought I was.

"weakness
is only an illusion
Real strength lies within
where it cant be seen or touched"
very true, that inner strength is what keeps us going.
another great poem
~Dawn

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live
