Obstinate

Tick tock

where’s the clock

already I am scared

for when midnight comes

the beast will run

filling me with dread.

Fingers digging

‘neath the bed hiding

I know he can’t see me.

Fuck no.

Dragged out

nails digging into the floor

scratch marks

do not think I went softly

do not think I did not cry.

The monster came

the monster did bite

and forever more

I shall fight.

I know what I face.

I know what I faced.

I am a Princess.

I am a Warrior.

I am that woman  you fear.

Why?

l know what I want

I know what I need…

Never again

will I fall to my knees.
