Already Begun

She woke up for some water in the middle of the night.

Surprised by a stranger, with a flashlight.

Blinded by the light; she heard the man speak.

He said don't make a sound; do not even blink.

With her child sleeping peacefully, just footsteps away.

She had no choice but to do as he say.

That's when he forced her to lie down on her back.

Suddenly her body was under attack.

Trembling from fear; burning with rage.

Like a wild animal, locked inside of a cage.

She was confused by her emotions; uncertain how to react.

The fear was telling her to lie still; the rage was screaming fight back!

As the battle within herself begins.

The rage is too powerful; and wins.

She took the light right out of his hands.

Then shined it in the face of that despicable man.

She said, I see you now, for all that you are.

You may have won the battle; but I'm winning this war.

I will not be your victim; another statistic in your evil little plan.

I will tear out your soul; for you're not even a man.

I am not helpless; I fight back strong.

Coming into my home, is where you went wrong.

With hate in her eyes; she had a firm grip on the light.

Suited for battle; prepared to fight.

She witnessed fear, within the man's eyes.

Now he was confused, surprised.

She used her power, and began to speak.

Now you know exactly, how it feels to be weak.

Don't you dare blink, or make a sound.

Do yourself a favor, and turn around!

Leave my house the same way you came in.

Remember this moment, before trying it again.

But if I were you; I would run.

For it only takes seconds; to grab my gun.

And this war you started; has already begun!
