Anger Management

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

In the beginning
You couldn't get me to raise my voice
Not for anyone
No matter how many scars they inflicted
No matter how hard they shoved and knocked me down
I wouldn't fight
Nor would I get anyone to fight for me
I was their pawn
On the chessboard of their lies and betrayal

When street hockey came around
You wondered where my physical strength came from
You wondered how I could check a 23 year old man into the boards
With my 15 year old 5'8 115 pound body
And injure him so badly that I ended up
Bruising every single one of my ribs
And popping a couple out of place
You still wonder how I could possibly have done that
Without a single thread of anger shown

Now look at what's become of me
Look at my face, my hands
Listen to my voice
The girl who used to show no anger has been broken down
With his hands, he took my innocence
He took my control- my life
And has awakened a girl who shows no mercy to those who down her

In the beginning
You couldn't get me to raise my voice
Now you can't get me to stop
My life now consists of anger
Hostility
Screaming
Arguing until I get my way
I geuss I really should be in Anger Management
Or maybe you should stop harrassing me.
