(poem)

Pain and sorrow in my soul


From the lies you told to me


Can you see the struggle in my movement and eyes


A strange life of misery


Feeling so alone inside


But crowded on the out


Blame me for being so ruthless


Shame me for the bad things I did in the past


Tame my mind from thinking so shallow


For I'm so weak that I live in your shadow


I've lost myself in your rules and can't be found


But still I'm bound to you


Infatuated in you


But you don't feel the same


We love differently


You believe that hitting me is love


That a woman is supposed to surrender to her man for all to give


And if little as an opinion slips out my mouth i would get beat til my mouth swelled shut


But i can't leave


I can't escape from what I know


I can't go out into that cruel world and expect everything to magically be fine


So I suck it up and take the beating you give
