Contessa

Contessa remember you’re an epicure, don’t let him make you feel insecure; I know that they can’t see the pain slapped with all of his words on your face; I know that words CAN and DO hurt you, breaking bones that will no longer bend; Amplified and thrown up by the taste of alcohol it loses its voice in a crowd, all they’re privileged to is a people pleaser; Verbal abuse is a silent killer until it’s just the two of you alone together; It’s about time to end the silence, put an end to the punch drunk violence; Turn the tables on all the wounds that no one can see but still they bleed; Always told let it slide let it go, well here’s something you need to know: It’s okay to say no and take care of you. Contessa, feelings are always valid. Don’t let him make you feel insecure, Contessa remember you’re an epicure.
