You’re kidding, right? 
Didn’t think it'd go this way? 
Didn't think she’d turn this way? 
Shocking 


Well buddy boy you better buckle up 
This is going to be one hell of a storm you hadn't prepared for 


Every day she was labeled as 
irrational
angry
confused 
disgusted 
shy
battered 
You conditioned her to only accept you 
To only believe you 
Your speech uttering poison into her mind 
How could you? 


She's heard it all before 
“Smile”
“Be happy”
Everyone telling her it's “too hot for sweaters”
Rumors circulating that maybe she 
Couldn't handle life after college 
That she was just a spoiled girl with attitude 
She was isolated from all


Angry
And drunk 
And hostile 
Your hands went where they weren't allowed
Confused and dazed she couldn't fight 
You uttered words that shouldn't have been said 
You hurt her in ways you 
should've and could've stopped 
You promised her you were helping her learn 
To be a good person 
How dare you.


Your “love” and “kindness” left
Tears 
Bruises 
Anger 
Hate 
Sadness 
And cracks inside her soul 


If anyone were to confront her 
and just peel back the opening of the reinforced coating on her heart
It would yield prints of an intruder inside 
She doesn’t let anyone get a glimpse into the 
scattered mysteries of her past and present 


Never lets anyone see the dark under her eyes she covers with makeup 
Never lets anyone see the lines on her arms 
That reminds her she's still alive 
Doesn't let anyone hear the nightmares that plague her all night 
Doesn't let anyone hear her silent pleas 
Because you threatened? 
You poisoned her mind to believe 
She wasn't worth help? 


Well like I said you better buckle up buddy boy 
Your illusion of love and kindness was broken
Her silent pleas that she prayed people wouldn't hear 
Reached kind souls 
Her friends you'd pushed aside 
Are here for her aid 
The hope that long diminished 
Is being replenished 


You've robbed her of the 
innocence 
pure joy 
everlasting love 
kindness 
that you should've been 
that you could've been 


don't worry about that though because 
whether she weathers through everything alone 
with cracks and bruises aligned in her heart 
or needs picked up off the floor by helping hands 
While she breaks 


Your attempts at darkening a persons soul 
Your attempts at bruising the person you should've loved
Your attempts at making yourself feel superior


THEY FAILED


It'll be a hard journey but she will recover 
and she will do it without your “help” 
She will be happier 
and forever be a better person than you


So go wallow in your own personal hell you created 
Nobody’s in a hurry to rescue you 
And nobody ever will.
