Did you know
I had anger issues
At first?

Hit me.

Did you know
Your actions would
Resonate so violently
With me?

I dare you.

When you were
Playing me like a
Shoddy verbal fiddle

Did you know I'd
Fight back?

I'd absolutely love it.

Did you realise
That I wouldn't simply
Roll over?

Your words are nothing
compared to the hits I've taken

Guess what,
I'm not your
Punching bag

Did you really think I'd submit?

Take a swing at me
Just once more
Just one more time.

I've got a whole lot of issues, bud
But, fighting back was never
One of them.

I've had black eyes
and broken bones

I'll knock you out,
Without a second thought.

I won't even blink
When your nose
Sprays blood
All over my clothes.

Did you think I'd give in?

I've seen worse than the likes of you.

The monsters in my brain
have said worse things

After all, how else would I have
These Anger Issues?
