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”
