Insanity's Grip - a Woman In Chains
The nagging,
The pushing,
The constant prodding.
You try,
You work,
You make headway,
But it's ignored,
It's not enough,
It's never enough.
You become bitter,
You're angry,
You become morose.
Your will is strong,
You've done your best,
You're clearing hurdles,
But you aren't fast enough,
You aren't strong enough,
YOU are not enough.
The nagging is back,
The fault finding is back,
The blaming is back.
The berating,
The name calling,
Pushing you to the edge.
You won't break,
You refuse to break,
You lash out,
You scream,
You cry,
You fight back.
He stares at you,
He says there's something wrong with you.
You're insane.
Judy Ball
You're crazy alright. Crazy to stay in that mud bath.
