loss for words

moxie

i'm not broken anymore.
i've picked up my shards,
i've glued them back together.
i'm not unstable anymore.

you had the audacity to test me,
to see if i would grovel in self-pity.
well, at first you were right, but not anymore

you told me i wasn't good enough.
that i would just cry and break down over you.
the determination to prove you wrong is high on my list.

i've got nerve,
i've got moxie.

i'll ascend from the grave that you dug for me.
i'll swing to the pinnacle of the ocean that you drown me in.

i am good enough
i'll prove it to you

you made me defective,
you were my weak point,
you made me anxious to take a step,
like i was stepping on shattered glass,
dragging around my bloody feet 

go buy a personality
you could use a new one.

like i said,
i've got moxie too.
enough to wait,
patiently,
for my friend karma to take a swing at you.
