The Reins
Every day, indeed…yes
Dosing me…I confess
A little comment here
And there…
How much more
…can I bear
I am losing my confidence
Myself
…someone
Pleaseeee…help
I know I am not prefect
I see it in the mirror
It reflects
I’m no hero
But, why does he reminds me daily
Why am I the punching bag
I long for a quiet day
One, where he would have
…nothing
To say
Perhaps, I’ll dream it up
…perhaps
I ‘ll give up
I don’t know
Time’s been moving really slow
…of late
You see, that’s what happens
…living with a man you hate
No, no…hate is a strong word
…it has a punch
It spreads, like a poison through the veins
Like a mist through the air, when it rains
I yearn for a peace in my mind
Why is it
…so hard to find
One day I will break the chains
…release
All the poison from my veins
For now…
He, is the boss
…he holds the reins
