Biting Back Poem by Oustine Hao

I'm biting back my fury
But I'm writing down my rage
I'm printing this on paper
Later tear apart this page

Guys I loved oh very so
Fooled me, just to let you know.
Stabbed my heart even if they
Were not there, it hurt although

Two bull terriers bit me
And I just coward in fear
Was for four whole years that I
Didn't let them know I'm here

People just take one small look
At me and assume I'm weak
You don't know the fights I've seen
Or the words my heart can speak

You try to find what I hide
My dark, deep weakness inside
Because I'll find what you seek
Before you get to my own

You forgot to look at me
WAY, even more carefully
Something hiding you can't see
Struggles I fought on my own...

If you just stare at MY EYES
First you'll see a dark sea green
I'll ask you, look closer please
A fire, brighter and mean

I have given up my past
I will refuse to go back
My horrible hated fear
Now burns inside a smokestack

It's the determination
I had with me all along
Although you didn't see it
It would still light my path 'strong'

Was biting back my fury
THIS TIME, actually will
BITE you back with my sharp words
Thought your bullying would kill

Guess again, you were wrong still
