Domestic Abuse

They say are you a man or mouse

feel that I have no say in my house,

I feel so alone I'm just a recluse 

How long can I take this abuse,

It started with words and nagging 

Then I heard her, to her friend bragging,

those words then turned to physical 

Now my whole body looks quite pitiful,

As a gentleman who can I turn to

No one believes I'm beaten can't be true,

She is my life I still love her so much

Surely It's not my fault that I'm not butch,

I gave up everything even my best friend 

oh when will this hell ever end.

Domestic abuse is about abusing women

Women don't act this way against us men,

I live in fear walk on eggshells frightened 

I've got to find a way to make this end,

Living like this alone afraid of my wife

Perhaps to end this is to take my own life.
