Darts of harsh words
Sting my unseen sheath
Tearing them apart
If only they were
Sticks and stones
Leaving proof of marks
May be you would stop
Giving me a chance
To tend to my wounds.
Words used with, guided missile preciseness
How powerful you must feel
As you put me down
Punched and kicked, as I kneel.
Enough!! My mind screams
I stand up
As you stare back menacingly.
Gathering up courage
Pushing aside long grown fear
I watch your eyes, shift with doubt
My mind stilled with the decision,
Come what may -
Today, I stand my Ground,
Yet, continue to move.
Today I will push back,
Without pushing you.
Today I will fight,
Without fighting you.
With a smile I walk away,
Leaving you be
In letting you go
I set myself free.

Wow.. This is how to take care of a bully ... since in reality they are cowards who cannot stand up to courage and benign neglect of their actions... Wonderful !!
You nailed it, Rashmi! You are a wise woman. And words can be painful weapons, eh?
