Your hostile verbal abusive ways
penetrates my ears, breaking down my body
and tearing open my heart to pieces of nothing.
Scattered on the floor of a closet room,
barley dressed
slave child I am
to a man who feels his importance is of
the only importance
For who am I to you
To him,
Nothing but a little girl
waiting to take care of his needs
yet the simple way of saying please
doesn't exist
Tossed into a corner
with no where to turn
My heart hurts and emotions
can't go anywhere but fill my skin with tears
To turn to another in hopes of sympathy
for what has been done was
ever so wrong,
You called him out on his actions
Yet your such a fucking coward
you pass it off and ignore what has been said
Your wife is one of us
a slave to you
I will not allow
This life you lead
control me
You are the example of life I choose not to live
The life I choose not to lead
God grant me strength
To walk in the chaos of this toxic house
for a home is nothing but that
You can only grow so much, before the walls of your character
breaks your spirit
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
yes
But a part of me is dead
and with that a life is born
One that I will create all of my own
and for when that day comes
only to love from a distance
your energy is not welcome
in my home.
