FIGHT!

You pushed a button
I felt like nothing
You turned a knob
I bent down to sob

Then threats you uttered
Some responses I stuttered
My words began to lisp
I turned into a wisp

You hunkered down
And turned on a frown
Now for explosions you wait
Confidently seething hate

But don’t you know
My explosions grow
Inwards, towards myself
Only me do they engulf

Only I come to harm
Reacting to your charm
My soul inside does crouch
Outside, I smother an “ouch”

Are you done yet?
