Say Hello to My Fist

Two wrongs don't make a right, but standing up for myself sure feels good. Note: Written in first person form, but this is NOT about me.


 

 

Two wrongs don't make a right, but standing up for myself sure feels good. (Note: Written in first person form, but this is NOT about me.)

 

You've met your match this time! Empty from empty leaves empty Now, I have to wonder if you ever loved me. You must realize the consequences of your actions That leads up to my reactions It was a laid out plan from the get go We talked about what would not be tolerated Hitting me was number one! You knew what was going to happen You let your emotions take control, Right down to your balled up fist That met my face Now, face the music of my vexation! There is nothing in the place where something used to be. Don't call me names Don't tell me what a woman is not suppose to do Don't say I'm crazy Don't play double standards When I stand up for myself Forget the talk, Say hello to my fist!

Some might view your verse as a tough stand, Pier. But any person who would even consider ill treatment of another is not involved in a loving relationship. Love doesn't mistreat, it cherishes. Love doesn't direct and tell another person what they should or shouldn't do or what they can or can't say. Love accepts and cherishes the other person for their honest self. Anything less is unacceptable, unloving and ungodly.

Does the 20-year-old "key" the paint job on his new car? Of course not. He/she is out cleaning and polishing and "nuturing" the car with the most tender care and pride possible.

So, if you don't feel cherished--no matter what view the other person voices or thinks of their own conduct--get out of there!
Anything less is lying to yourself and accepting far less than any human deserves: Cherished, loving companionship.

Way ta go, Pier. Maybe those doubting themselves will now get the courage to "stand up" and be honest with themselves.

And if you, Reader, are one of those, you don't have to go it alone. There are organizations and governmental agencies that will step in and help you make the change into the life God intended for you.
If that's you, make your actions live Pier's words: "Say hello to my fist!"

It is such a tragedy when people resort to violence instead of understanding and communication. No one is the property of another and no one deserves to be beaten because they are following a life path that differs from another's expectations. With our inability to resolve our one-on-one relationships without resorting to violence I wonder how people can believe that whole countries with such diverse viewpoints can ever live in harmony. Your words are powerful, Pier and strong. Excellent poetry.
Take care,
Sherry
