hypnotize
What did I see in him?
How did he hypnotize?
Then he was my hero
with his brown-green eyes.
Eyes that told a thousand lies.
I was not young and foolish,
I was just foolish as a clown.
Obeying every edict and order
for those hypnotic eyes of brown.
Soon it became push and shove,
with me the victim every time.
Fewer the hours that were happy,
fewer still those that were sublime.
Then came the fists to control me,
and I died a bit with each episode.
No longer was I a strong woman
with a stand on my own feet code.
For years I let him beat me
and get pleasure from my cries...
Oh, yes, this pathetic man knew
he had me - had me hypnotized.
Now I am alone, left him all alone.
It has taken twenty years for me
to break the ties, to rise up again
and live as a “Woman Free”.
Never let another take your soul,
never let them bind you and hypnotize,
for all you will ever do is wither as
as you listen to their selfish lies.
