It Happened So Slowly
It Happened so Slowly
My self Worth, Respect,... Efficacy,
No longer reflect what I feel is me.
Belittled, tormented, mentally abused,
Put down, mistreated and totally used.
Unknowingly forming a victims thoughts,
Accepting behaviour, my stomach in knots.
Defending, justifying, as if it's ok,
For him to treat me in such a way.
I've twisted the truth somehow, I'm lost,
Just finally seeing the line we've crossed.
My children will always be # 1,
and I will own what I have done.
