" MARITAL BONDAGE "

Restriction, conviction of the heart

so it starts,

Obsession, the lesson you learn

will burn

in your mind, all the time

Control, has got a hold, on the mold

you try to break

The mistakes you make

leaves you trembling

You feel alone in your home

though your partner is there

despair, when they're near

The verbal, physical and, emotional abuse

what's the use, in hanging around?

Stand your ground,

refrain, break the chain or,

remain the same broken spirit,

don't you get it?

The time has come

to take a stand and, demand

the respect they wrecked

when they shattered your soul

and, left a hole where your heart

used to be

Get back your pride and, take in stride

the mistakes you made, you'll get paid

your self-respect, self-worth

and, your dignity.
