A woman who fights back

A woman who fights back

A Poem by Shannon

Tears in her eyes
Spiteful words in her mouth
One relationship
That just went south

Stinging red skin
On her pretty little cheek
And he still has no idea
She's really not weak

His hand flashed again
And met skin as she gasped
But that anger fueled blow
Would be his last

She picked herself up off the ground
And a single shot rang out
And he replaced her on the ground
With a dismal shout

You thought you could break me
You thought i would crack
But baby, you just weren't ready
For a woman who fights back

Wow, very strong. I admit I gasped but it has this proud feeling in it. Well done.

This one is powerful. The visual is gruesome and strong, but meaningful. This entire write just screams with determination. It's very nicely done. Great job.

This piece was AMAZING! The flow of this piece was really smooth and lilting. This is clearly a woman who's had enough. The hurt and the anger just comes out in this piece. Wonderful piece of work!
