    This is very heartfelt and saddening.

    This is strong. Writing’s very controlled.
    really like this part;

    “Make sure his dishes washed
    floors mopped windows cleaned
    Don’t need that look from him
    It’s ugly so mean
    Won’t raise my voice put my hands on my hip
    Oh no honey you about to get one to the lip
    He calls my name with so much anger and hate
    In the back of my mind I’m sad I even went on that date
    Your man comes home you glad I’m sad
    STILL CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHY HE BEAT ME SO BAD”
