Domestic Violence

We need to seriously talk about living in a dangerous predicament 
Where everything in your life is awry.
You won't win an argument.
It's no accident 
When a person receives a black eye.
We need to seriously talk about living in a dangerous predicament.
He wants to make you subservient.
For you to feel motified and by his hands you could
Even possibly die.
You won't win an argument 
These attacks will be come more frequent.
Believe me! I can testify.
We need to seriously talk about living in a dangerous predicament. 
The man is virulent as well as violent. 
Please! Don't deny.
You won't win an argument.
It's amazing how you do things that are inconvenient to
His grandiloquent 
Way of life which just goes to signify 
We need to seriously talk about living in a dangerous predicament.
You won't win an argument.
