About realizing a situation but not wanting to be beaten by it.

Wrap your fingers around my soul
Try to squeeze me with your control
As helpless as I feel how can I let you have this steal?
Drain away my sunshine
Try to drown me in your rain
As helpless as I feel how can I let you have this steal?
Try to suffocate me with your silence
A mental kind of violence
As helpless as I feel how can I let you have this steal?
Suppress me with your sadness
Try to rid me of all my gladness
As helpless as I feel how can I let you have this steal?

    Do you write often? I have so many writings I have done over the years. I still write even now.

    I’ve just come out of a v controlling relationship and these words have helped so much. Thanks!

    I know if anyone is in an abusive relation and reads this poem. I know it will make them feel full of courage. Very nicely written.
