My Freedom

He hit me 
Pushed me 
Slapped me too
So someone tell me what the heck was I to do 
Sit here and take it 
Wait for it again back up into a corner where he strikes me with his hand 
Hurt me 
Bruise me 
Won’t take that again 
Stand up stupid wont say a word he hits me I fall where he says I belong 
Commanding as a puppeteer he yanks me back up and holds me in his arms makes me feel 
the trust until another day when I make him mad again you should see his  face so angry as 
if I’m a disgrace or maybe I am  I was so young and confused had no time to really get to 
choose 
Waking up to his smiling face 
Hoping everything will be okay 
Until later his true colors will show thinking he rules like a king on his throne 
Knowing his boss brings tear to my face and erupts all my thoughts 
He’ll ask what’s wrong and say it so sweet 
But the things that he’s done will finally push me Sounds of remoras seem to shield my voice 
I push it away its time for my joy I stand up now but no where near proud maybe gone mad 
he looks at me in disgust shows no fear then a crack in his voice says I love you dear   
Love is that what you call what you’ve done to me brought me down to a level I never 
wanted to be 
Real mad and angry I go to hit him  as he would have me and give him the pain that would 
last for centuries but in stead I stand up and walk away the man the that once hit me got up 
and scurried away
