Get Out Alive
Hit me!! HIT ME!!
Harder!! HARDER!!
Punch me!! Push me!!
Slap me!! Hurt me!!
Bruise me! Break me!
Cut me! Laugh at me!!
Shame me! Defame me!
Scar me! Abuse me!
Poke me! Belittle me!
Spit on me! Trap me!
kick me! DESTROY ME!
Yes it hurts!
Yes I bleed!
Yes I swell!
I'm black and blue!
I'm bruised!
My bones break!
My body trembles!
My body shakes!
I FEEL EVERYTHING!
YOU FEEL NOTHING!
You want me to apologize?
Yeh I'm really really sorry!
Sorry I chose you!
Respect YOU!?
HUH!!
NEVER!
Do you feel BIG now?
Do you feel empowered? JERK!
Your not a man!
Your knuckles bleed with my blood dripping on them!
Are those crocodile tears I see?
Oh your sorry?
Why?
Because I am the fire and you got BURNT!
I say nothing but see all!
You will never see my tears!
You will never feel my love!
You get NOTHING !
You are NOTHING!
I own my PAIN!
At least I can feel!
At least I can heal!
At least I am REAL!
You will never break my spirit!
NEVER!
I got out alive!
I am ALIVE!
I am FREE!
I am a SURVIVOR!

Wow, there is so much emotion. I am still getting goosebumps after reading it. The capitalization and punctuation used was well done.

I pinned this poem, so I could never forget about returning to it, to read it again and again and again. Powerful images. The strength of the victim is what I felt in the poem. Keep using your internal voice when looking at violence in a different way. Sometimes, our personal experiences jump off the page and right into our minds.
Super terrific job here with moving the reader to read it, one more time.
