Scared Puppy

Sarah Jean Kulhan

Listen to what I say
No No No not that way
back and fourth always a fight
I wasn't scared until I met you-
face to face
in the clear blue

Rage and wrath over came you
Scared puppy
Quiet and dosile
I didn't raise my hand again towards you

Hit, Slap, Punch- SNAP!
I'm not responsible for how you treated me
I was human
So history repeated.

Welcome back to the "real world"
Not everyone is out you get you

"something"

It's peaceful if you want it
Get out of your head girl,
Before it's all forgotten
