Toxic relationship parents

Why do you submit me to this treatment
Make me feel small
Does it make you feel tall
To put down the little lady

You tower over me
You swear and curse
And bully me by your words

You involve my father
Yes he's stuck and of course takes your side
And leaves the little lady reeling.

How dare she try to fight back
You torment her soul
You make her feel powerless
Like your the only one with the control


People tell the little lady to run
But running seems foreign
When your used to the stabs and the forever pains.




She knows it's not healthy and she's fighting her instincts
To talk back sharply or suicide
Cos she wants to hurt them
As deep as they have hurt her.
She's a wounded bird
Wants to fly away
But the need and the ability seem to lack.

She knows it'll be the undoing of her


If she continues Under their ropes
But the scared child
Is petrified of making a move

So who's going to win
This hand of poker

She needs to listen to her friends and run not looking back.

Stop fooling herself
That they can change


Costhey won't
And all she will receive Is  heartache

There's always conditions to their love
To their time and resources




Never is it given freely
They always want something back in return




She has to face facts they are toxic parents.
They are never gonna give her the love she deserves
She has to find that somewhere else
And nurture herself
It's a heartbreaking lesson
But facing the truth hurts sometimes
They are never gonna say sorry
