“This is the last time,
I won’t do it again” you say everyday
With tears streaming down my eyes
Your cold look says ‘anyways’
It deepens the bruise
Making the circumstances adverse
I cry in the corner like an unwatered plant
Consolidated, fading, agitated, only getting worse
You caged me, tamed me well
For a loyal dog is better than a scratching cat
You see the terror on my face as you hold the bat
I wonder if you think of mercy, or you have an evil laugh
Everyday I wish, today would be better
That you would caress me rather than cursing
But a normal life has became a dream, broken
Like that glass on the ground, shattered
Why would you throw it at me?
I see my reflection in a piece
Covered with blood,
Will I be nursed?
But now I will stop this war
Let the world see,
The battle shield my bruises have formed
Each scar will tell a story
Of the new and stronger skin that I own
As all the broken has been healed
From my heart to my bones
Those tears, they dried
These hands, they will stop
This mouth, it will say
These arms, they will fight back
These legs, they wont tremble
You dare not touch me now
Because I don’t need a saviour
I will save myself
From domestic violence
It will finally end.
