When I Snap

What strength I possess I'll never know
if any and I'm put to the test
for some reason I can't bring myself
to cause physical pain
Stop trying to provoke me
or invoke in me you're destructive unkind spirit
leave me alone, take your taunting cuz I don't wanna hear it
Hit as hard as you can-
pretend you've got more left-whatever makes
you feel like a greater prouder woman
Hostile-that's how you choose to be
Docile is the route for me
But draw the line and stop somewhere
for what happens on the day when I drop my morals
become like you and start to care
About proving myself or taking my dues
beware--you're skin will be full of colorful hues
of black and blue and red
You'll be in a hospital bed
And maybe you'll think of how stupid your smart ass antics are
and wonder why you pushed me so far...to the brink
you'll shut your fu--ing mouth
and groan in pain
and thank God
you Were NOT SLAIN
so shut up and don't provoke
for pain is something you can't revoke
