You took a piece of me,
A part of my soul, too,
But you did not get
The best I have to offer;
You did not get the best of me.

You left me frightened and afraid,
To weak to yell out,
But you did not get
To chase away my spirit,
That heals me from within.

It was a struggle
Between two souls,
You were more forceful;
I am more powerful
And I bring my joy back to me.

You left me feeling angry,
Frustrated by what was,
But I choose to help myself,
To keep my life moving
And I accept adversity with joy.
