It's All I Knew

Dedicated to:

So many of us!  
Shaped by those around us.
"It's all I knew."

Escaped the abusive mother...
to marry a man in her image.  
Escaped him to be with a druggie alcoholic.

He was a late abusive bloomer. He learned!
"It's all I knew."
Beat me.  Rape me.  Threaten to kill me!

Happy endings.  
Fairy tale lies and cancelled sitcoms!
That isn't reality!

Out in the world...
women complain about their lives!
Complain about...

Health, jobs, kids and husbands.
Where is the talk of happy?
Where is the talk of love?

A smiling woman - liar!
It can't be real!
Avoid the lying, smiling, happy woman!

Squandering our lives, because...
"It's all I knew."
You don't have to sing me a sad song.

I live the sad songs!
Used for inappropriate sex!
Use inappropriate sex!

Get what you want...
because someone else...
will take what THEY want!

"It's all I knew."
So, it's all I do.  Because...
"It's all I knew."
