y0u taught me to fight

once a timid girl
always bending to order.
Yes.
No.
A shake of head.
A nod.
Responses i master
Never bothers you.
You enjoy the power
You have over me.
You love to see the hurt on my face,
The flowing tears
Which never cease.
Oh, how i wish
I could fight back
And let you know
Im fed up of bending to you.
One day
You shouted at me.
Hadn't done any wrong
This i am sure.
Hurled hurting words
Like there's no tomorrow.
I opened my mouth
Shouted back at you.
You were shocked.
This, you never thought i could do.
Oh, how i love to remember
The look on your face
Full of unbelief,
Mouth open, speechless.
I felt so great.
I was set free
From the timid girl
I was once been.
should you be proud?
For i am now a fighter.
Should i thank you?
The fact is
It was you
Who taught me how to fight.
