"Because I can"
  by caramel_skin


The night you raised your hand
you claimed I provoked you which led you to step to me like I was a man.

The night you raised your hand
I did not duck, bob or weave if you really were gonna do it then it is here I'll stand.

The night you raised your hand
the mood was tense as you curved it round labelling me like I was your brand.

The night you raised your hand
I was shocked nah this n***# did not just put his hands on me that was not in the plan.

The night you raised your hand
you approached me appologetically with some tied excuse but I was still distracted by the situation at hand.

The night you raised your hand
briefly I contemplated if I let it go now the next time we get into it will you be claiming because you can!!

That night you rose your hand
I surrendered the pain it's time for change if not now one day you'll understand...

Love the write, a message that needs to get out there, proud that you took a stand against that kind of violence, I feel sorry for him

o wow, I loved this poem. I like the flow of it. Great write. I love the ending. A lot of people don't have the strength to stand up to someone like this
