You Will Not Forget Me

*slap!!*
                          (Everyone rushes to stop it)
No.
Stand back.       (Hand out to stop them)

... (stares into your eyes not breaking eye contact, teary-eyed)

You feel like no one listens to you.
No one cares what you think.
No one cares what you say.
They try running all over you and your tired of fighting.

Hitting me gives you power.

It obviously gives you happiness.

Then go ahead and beat me till I’m dead, then tell me how happy that made you. How it made things change better.

I will promise this, I will make sure you will not forget me.

Go ahead. You can take your anger out on me as I stand here.

I won’t fight back.

You need this. Go for it.

I’m used to being beat down because people who are angry don’t know what else to do thinking this will make it better.

What power do you get from this?

How does this change your problems and make them any better?

Does my tears make you stronger seeing I’m weak from your beating?

My body may be weak, but you’ll never break me down.

I will make sure you will not forget me.

And I know you will not forget me.
