You kept her in a cage Clipped her wings Told her lies Told her she wasn't good enough And deserved to die You battered her broken body Told her fragile birds were never meant to fly You succeeded in stealing away her self worth layer by layer But not her will to live each day For her children
To the nation's silent killer To all you bombarded by family honour You watched her leave those rusty cage doors that were latched on tight You watched her smile cry Beautiful creationsΒ Β cannot be hidden And Cannot be confined He does not define her He does not hurt het anymore She escaped from the statistics Because her sucide attempts was in front of her kids She relised she isn't a number She is a woman She is a warrior She is a mother MY mother. She is stronger She is free from the nation's silent killer
Sorry mum. For not protecting you. If anyone goes though domestic violence PLEASE seek help. You do not deserve this nobody does.
