Repercussions

“I was silenced for far too long

Always did what I was told

The repercussions,

When I got it wrong

I swear I didn’t know.

It started out with a few mean looks

Then you’d scream and yell

You’d punch the walls &

Then yourself

Tell me to “Go to hell!”

Then somehow convince me

That I was the one who’s wrong

That wasn’t what you said

How long must this go on?

“You stupid bitch!

Get it right!

Use your fucking head!”

Every time I’d hear those words

I’d wish that I was dead.

Next onto your favorite phrase

“You stupid fucking cunt!”

How could you say these things to me

When you said I was the one?

For years and years, I took it all

The late nights, the girls, the hate

You constantly fucked with my head

Making me feel like,

A big fucking mistake.”
