Escape
So you have a mate
You love your mate
You love mate much
But your mate don’t love you back
Your mate beats you
Belittles you
Forces sex on you
And fails to provide as a good mate should
You mate harms your children
Screams at the whole house
Curse at and hit the dog
Yell at and kick the cat
Why tolerate that?
Even if you mate has so much money his grandchildren are set for life
It ain’t worth staying and being abused
It’s time to escape
Leave before you die inside
Leave before he kills you
Leave before your children begin hating you for putting their needs last
There is somewhere to go
Leave and don’t look back
Even if you don’t get a chance to pack your things
Leave-and take the kids with you
Pack the dog
Pack the cat
ESCAPE before it’s too late!!
