Pushback
You kept on pressing down
as if my heart couldn't break at all
As if the pressure you applied
would not take it's heavy toll
You kept on pressing down
as if my body could absorb
Every blow and every insult
rebounding off your inner wars
You kept on pressing down
not believing I'd react
But now it's me who's pressing down
and you who's on your back
Domestic abuse is a greater problem in lockdown.
