You can't hurt me
I'm already dead
Insides are burnt
feelings are dread
I can't please you
I'm not going to try
My soul is charred
No tears left to cry
Get out of my face
Just leave me alone
Take a step back
Don't take that tone
I'm not a doormat
Get that straight
So step off
Or meet your fate

"So step off, or meet your fate" Wow, there are some people I wish I had the courage to say that to sometimes! I like that line best, its spunky

At some point we all must take a stand...that is, if we want to be free. That is the gist of your poem...what's that old line from the movie Network? "I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
I'll open up the window, ready? Lets shout!

Sounds like a lesson learned well. I'm reminded of an old saying, went something like, 'Once burned, twice learned'
This is a strong piece, well written. Good luck in the contest
