Restriction, conviction of the heart <br />so it starts <br />Obsession, the lesson you learn <br />will burn <br /> <br />in your mind all the tim <br />Control has got a hold on the mold <br />you try to break <br />The mistakes you make <br /> <br />leaves you trembling <br />You feel alone in your home <br />though your partner is there <br />despair when they're near <br /> <br />The verbal, physical and, emotional abuse <br />what's the use in hanging around? <br />Stand your ground <br />refrain, break the chain or remain the same <br /> <br />broken spirit, don't you get it? <br />The time has come <br />to take a stand and demand <br />the respect they wrecked <br /> <br />when they shattered your soul <br />And left a hole where your heart <br />used to be <br />Get back your pride and take in stride <br /> <br />the mistakes you made, you'll get paid <br />your self-respect, self-worth <br />And your dignity<br /><br />MAXINE P.
