I AM HER
I AM HER people so often speak,
When explaining how SHE should be treated differently,
Abuse isnt always physical as people think,
And not everyone uses a fist to abuse the weak,
Love can make you endure things you wouldnt usually do,
and when you get in too deep its hard to break loose,
Youre accused of being the problem when you just try to talk,
and expressing your feelings is a battle often lost,
aggression, anger, over explaining your pain to others,
for them to love them and their faults remained covered,
deflection, dismissal, unaccountability
are often the reactions that SHE recieves,
Hes loved, he helps, hes there for everyone else,
but what about when SHE needs him, all she thinks about is HERself,
PLEASE just help me I just need some support,
Ive given everything i have youre my ONLY resort,
I call you ignore me, i beg, you say I am needy,
but why are you letting everyone else be so greedy,
I fuss, you lie, I cuss, you deny,
I plead with you to just give me your time,
I am blamed for being lonely when you took that comfort from me,
then answer others and give your everything easily,
why am i fighting for something that was promised to me
while you are sure, I question your loyalty,
Abuse isnt always about bruises and visable scars,
you can see it in the reactions and feelings of disregard.
dismiss me, ignore me, shrug it off like im nothing,
until you need affection and wanna fuck something.
i am a glorified babysitter and a hole for you to fuck,
give me the bare minimum and for the rest wish me luck.
My self esteem has diminished, im lonely and tired,
my body is hurting and my energy has retired,
I only keep going bc I love my son,
and if it wasnt for him Id be long gone,
I am a mother, I am his rock, I am the one that will have him no matter what.
NO one is more important, no amount of money will ever be enough,
NO one could ever afford the cost of a mothers strength,
even when her rock turned into a weight that made her sink ..
