No More Crap

No More Crap

A Poem by Carolann Dowsett

I'm not going down 
without a fight 
You can do what you want 
try as hard as you like 

Makes no difference to me
I'm used to life's pain 
Knock me down 
I'll just get up again 

You think cause I'm a girl 
you can push me around 
Well you'd better watch out 
or you'll hit the ground

I ain't no p***y 
no weak little girl 
I've seen it all 
been through the fires of hell 

So you'd better think twice 
before picking on me 
Cause I ain't as sweet 
as I used to be 

I've been battered and bruised 
and treated like dirt 
Stomped on and spat on 
left broken and hurt 

But those days are over
ain't no doubt about that 
Now I've made up my mind 
to take no more crap 

So don't threaten me 
or you'll  be risking your life 
Cause I ain't going down 
without a massive fight

Oh this is just amazing, Coralann...Very intense, fiery anger unleashing through
The depths of your soul! I'm at this place in my life right now, could very much
Relate to this poem.

Very accurate description of when one has reached
their limit, due to any kind of abuse, betrayal, after a while, you're left with no choice but to
Strike back, even if it's by silence, confrontation, or just cutting them out of your life
For good.

This write, gives us, the readers, a glimpse into your strength, belief
In yourself...a true survivor, kudos to you!

Back to this poem, brilliant use of rhyming scheme, and lyrical flow,
I had Megadeth echoing in my head while reading this.

Thanks for sharing, I personally found it inspiring and
I'm truly sorry that you are or were in this place.

Sends you positive energy and light! 100/100 (favs)

a real person with a big heart...yes, it is one of my fondest memories.
love the emotion behind these very well placed words
not going to take it anymore-good
if you can't do the emotional or physical side-call the i.r.s. on them no one wants an audit...gives one time to think and get out
you have released some great words here they read so well I could feel them
thank you so for sharing

Thank you so much Holly.
some one needs a treat,someone broke the last thread, stepped on the straw that bent the camels back, sand and a burr under the blanket,ears back and kicking Dowsett is going to give you a licking!

Whoa, this one is strong, raw, full of moxy...I kept hearing that song in my head....'I get knocked down but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down'! Go you, nice purge here.
