Living in an abusive relationship is no joke. Remaining in one can be horrible for your self esteem, confidence, and health. This is about B's experience living in one.
lyrics
We lie like snakes up in the grass. There is no world, There are no shapes, We are made of fate. Fate from the start, Fate til the end, We do not break,we only bend. Bending over backwards we walk on feet and hands. fodder -- mower, fodder for the mower. reaper -- sower, you take from the grower. fodder -- mower
fodder for the mower. reaper -- sower
you take from the grower! is this love, or is this fear?
is this war? cuz theres’s no peace here. your fate is not your own until you own it, i’m meant for better! I’m writing a story with no ending it’s eating me inside, it’s
chewing, gnashing, snarling. Fate from the start but this fate I’ll forsake. I refuse to go on go on go on
go on this way!
i am not your servant
i am not your daughter
i am not your mother
i am not like the others
i am not merely fodder
for your arguments, your regrets, your insolence
your violence, cowardice, virulence
for your arguments, your regrets, your insolence
your violence, cowardice, virulence
i am not yours!
