Indifferent

Inspired by someone close.

What more do I have to say
Before I shake you from your apathy?
You wish for days of old
When your life was pure and not so cold
You say you want things to change
So that life makes sense, and isn’t so strange

They see your lack of defense
Then they put you under their influence
You deserve so much more
Why do you let them treat you like a w***e?
How far will he have to go
Before you muster the courage to say no?

Is this something you enjoy;
Have your feelings built up then destroyed?
Do you like feeling so used?
Why do you put up with this pain and abuse?
Why is it so hard for you to see
This isn’t the way your life should be?

These are the things that I’ve wanted my own friend to see, and you have said them so beautifully. It is very clearly written.
Happy to have stumbled across it.

Wonderful flow...great questions asked! Why do people stay.... abusers can make it life threatening to leave.. but I would rather go down trying to reach safety than submitting to it...Great piece!
