Poem: Baby Steps

Baby Steps
'In my house
what you call jumping,
Is also falling down.'
Is that so?


When you said feelings
Got the better of you
And your blows had meaning
To make me ‘love you true’.
You hide hits with kisses

And sugercoat curses
Your strike never misses
Your words are barbed, merciless

It was five years ago
Since I started taking crap

And allowing abuse.

Well now I refuse.
I’ve done my baby steps,
Now it’s my go.
Time for a new leaf. Leave or I’ll make you.
When you’re falling down
You’re also jumping

The coop
Out of MY house.
