Can Not Be Tamed

by Jacki M Butler

You took away my innocence

Stole a piece of my soul

You can never give it back

I can never forigve you

You have committed the unthinkable

I feel vulnerable and frightened

You tried to take the life from this body

Make this soul run scared

I will be strong and take a stand

I can't let you pull me down

One terrible mistake

Can not be reason

To ruin my entire life

So from the wreckage you left

Lying on this weakened body

This ravaged faith

I rise, dust myself off

And hold my head up high

You will not get the best of me

I will never let you see me cry

May you remain a broken man

Stumbling in the dark shadows

Of what you may call a life

Until you realize that we have feelings

Us women are not your toys

So do your best

You raped my heart of trust

But you cannot tame this wild spirit.
