The Breaking Point
I think of that day
 Oh, how long ago!
 How I wrote of anger;
 How little I did know!
 
 Now I know how deep a woman's fury flows!
 Before, I thought I knew,
 But now, I realize, 
 That then I hadn't got a clue!
 
 Oh yes: the wind did catch me.
 Be assured: the waters washed anew.
 The trees themselves, they hold me up,
 Truly: I'm higher than before I ever flew!
 
 The veil has now been lifted,
 The curtain finally drawn.
 It's all come to light:
 What, for so longley, I've let go on!
 
 But no longer!
 I will not take THAT here!
 I'm done with smiling stoically
 While inside feeling many a tear!
 
 Besmirch me no longer! 
 I am THROUGH with your blasphemy! Try to put me back in "my" place
 And I'll rip you down from your tyranny!
