I Don'T Daydream
“I Don’t” Daydream
The home that they lived in
She called a prison
Discarding her dreams
For his self-esteem
She was a prize
To show off to the guys
And he bragged and he boasted
While she stayed devoted
She bore his children
Ignored the women
That he kept on the side
To nourish his pride
Her friends always told her
That she deserved better
And should think about leaving
To stop all of her grieving
But she took a vow
That no matter how
Her marriage might hurt
She would make it work
She knew in her heart
That she could not depart
Because of his temper
If she left he would kill her
Like he almost did
In front of the kids
The night that he choked her
The night that he broke her
Now she had a plan
To get rid of this man
Without a divorce
Or going through courts
Even though she still loved him
She decided to drug him
And when he collapsed
She drew him a bath
Then held him down
And watched him drown…
…”Miss are you okay.”
She awoke from the dream
Quickly took off the ring
Then faced the pews
And delivered bad news
She shook head, and told them “I won’t”
Instead of saying “I do” she said “I don’t”
She flipped off the groom
Then ran out the room
And got away clean
Forever a queen
