.......Slowly "Dismantled".

SLOWLY DISMANTLED..

PICKED APART AND MADE TO BELIEVE,

I WAS SO MUCH LESS THAN A WOMAN,

OR THE DIRT ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR FEET.



IT WAS A PROCESS TO YOU,

FIRST YOU GOT INSIDE MY HEAD,

LAID SOME HEAVY SHIT ON ME.

WITHOUUT YOU CUTTING ME.. I BLED.



YOU TAUNTED ME DAILY

ABOUT MY WEIGHT AND ALL I HAD GAINED.

I WAS ONLY A SIZE TWELVE,

JUST ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR "BREAK A BITCH DOWN" GAMES.



WHEN I WAS HAPPY YOU BEAT IT OUT OF ME,

MY SELF CONFIDENCE, YOU STOLE.

JUST FOR ME TO FIND OUT YOU WERE CHEATING ON ME..

WITH A GIRL ...FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.



"TAKE THAT OFF" IS WHAT YOU SAID..

"THAT LOOKS NASTY AS SHIT"

..WITH THESE BAGGY JEANS ON??...

AND A SHIRT DOWN PAST MY HIPS?..



I GUESS I SHOULDN'T HAVE QUESTIONED YOU,

I FELT THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES.

THIS TIME I WOKE UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH STITCHES ACROSS MY NOSE,

I'D SAY ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE.



YOU CAME HOME ONE NIGHT,

I GUESS I WASN'T LAYING A CERTAIN WAY,

ALL I REMEMBER IS WAKING UP DAZED AND CONFUSED...

TOTALLY DISMAYED.



ONE TIME WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

SOME CHICK CAME TO WHERE WE STAY.

SHE SAID "EXCUSE ME DO YOU KNOW THE GUY WHO DRIVES THIS CAR"?

I SAID "SURE".. WALK THIS WAY.



SHE SAID " WHO ARE YOU"?

I SAID " I AM HIS SISTER"

SHE SAYS "OKAY" WE HI-FIVE!

(YOU SEE I AM LEARING HOW TO PLAY YOUR GAMES)..

I BROUGHT HER RIGHT UP STAIRS TO WHERE YOU LYE.



SHE SAYS "HEY, WHAT UP BABE"..

YOU JUMP TEN TO TWENTY FEET,

YOU RUBBED YOUR EYES, NO YOU'RE NOT DREAMING

THIS HERE IS A LITTLE DEEP!



HE LOOKED AT ME ALL FRANTIC AND SAID "WHO IS SHE"?

SHE SAYS " YOU SPENT THANKSGIVING WITH ME AND YOUR BABY JUST LAST WEEK"!



I REALLY WASN'T SURPRISED,

TO FIND OUT YOU WERE A CHEAT.

JUST KINDA BOTHERED BY THE FACT

THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD CREEP!



I EVENTUALLY GOT IT TOGETHER,

MY BROKEN SOUL YOU CRACKED.

I FOUND SOMEONE WHO LOVED ME

ADMIRES ALL THE THINGS YOU THOUGHT WERE SO WACKED.



SO NOW THAT YOU ARE DISMANTLED,

YOU HAVE TAKEN THE WRONG PATH..

YOUR LIFE IS IN COMPLETE SHAMBLES!!

NOW YOUR TURN TO FEEL THE WRATH.



NOW THAT YOU ARE SO UNRAVELED, AND VERY MUCH UNDONE!!!

I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DISMANTLING ME!!

AND MAKING ME THE STRONG WOMAN I'VE BECOME.
