Battered Woman

© July 5, 1998
Battered woman,
Crying on your sleeve.
Battered woman,
Trying to believe.
Battered woman,
Wanting out, wanting free.
Battered woman,
How'd that become me?

Battered woman,
Beaten black and blue.
Battered woman,
Trying to see it through.
Battered woman,
Fearing her loss of pride.
Battered woman,
Who easily could have died...

Battered woman,
Controlled by his tyranny.
Battered woman,
Scared even once she's free.
Battered woman,
In the end losing nearly all.
Battered woman,
Don't let him be your downfall!
