Victim.....Survivor

You are one cruel hearted man. One too many for my life span. You have inflicted one too many abuses. I am so tired of your lousy excuses! Whether it be with your mouth, fist, or actions You found ways to punish for imagined infractions. It sickens me that I did not leave as soon As I realized that you always sing the same tune. You claim that I don't love you enough. I am not falling for that bit of fluff. The truth is, it is you that doesn't know how to love Go on you know this is true what I speak of. Wrapping your hands around my neck to choke Because you did not like what I had spoke. You giving me a black eye Because you assume what I say is a lie. Some one says a victim that makes me. Well I guess we shall see. I no longer want to be thought of as that. Survivor...yes I have that down pat. I survived your endless abuses. I survived all those bruises. Victim...me....HELL NO!!! SURVIVOR that is me. Way to go.
