Eyes see the act
that takes with arrogance
that hurts with disregard
that scars with indifference

Pulse races
respiration quickens
muscles clench
And body knows
strike back

And body remembers
with the smallest reminder
body remembers what to do
strike back

Eyes can forget
depend on body to remember
Mind considers
rely on body to know

Body screams
strike back

What if body forgot to be angry
