Stop

Will the bruises go away when the pain decides to stop?

Will the rhythm come back in the center of my heart.

Will it be called love when you raise your hand to swing?

Will it be a song that I've heard of a gospel hymn that they sing?

Abuse is not an excuse for trying to take control.

Abuse is a trapped monster in the middle of their soul.

A monster that never had a chance to come to terms.

A monster that expresses weakness as it learns.
