My real

What is real
What is fake
How much more
Can you take

Do you look back
Can you still see
The person that
You used to be

Vibrant such fun
So full of life
Hoping someday
You'll be his wife

So proud to say
That he's your man
Gazing into his eyes
Always hand in hand

But...oh no!
Watch out
He's got you now
"Shut up and obey"
"You stupid cow"

Oh God please help
Why can't I run
I've lost all my friends
And my oldest son

My family's so close
Yet so far away
I know they are thinking
Why do you stay

I cannot leave
Where would I go
I've got nothing left
He is a pro

So don't look ahead
Don't look back
Bite your tongue
Avoid the attack

The you you once we're
Is dead and gone
From here on out
You will always be wrong

It's always your fault
You instigate shit
You make me this way
Can't you just quit

Quitting this life
Is my secret dream
Dive in head first
Float down the stream

Float away to a place
Of serenity and bliss
Find you a frog
Give it a kiss

Kiss one kiss ten
Kiss them all if you can
Once cut from his leash
You might find a good man

Someone to love you
With all of your flaws
Swept off your feet
You deserve this because

You have suffered
Sweet girl
You know nothing but pain

You think you're unworthy
He's twisted your brain

You've questioned yourself
For long enough
You must find the strength
To pack up your stuff

Gather your children
Just hope they forget
Do something for them
You will never regret.
