It creeps up on you like a thief in the night
And you don't know how to make it right
It's not always so obvious when it comes
It's disguised in words and numbness to some
It's hard to tell when the pain is too deep
When the wounds left behind are so hard to keep
It's the little things that start to appear
The subtle hints of control and fear
You may not see it but it's there in the shadows
It's hard to tell when your heart is full of sorrow
It's the controlling words and the silent stares
It's the feeling like you don't have a say
It's the putdowns and the constant reminders
It's the feeling like you're always behind
It's the sudden changes and the anger that flares
It's the feeling like you're not aware
It's the lack of warmth and the lack of care
It's the feeling like you don't matter
It's the feeling like you don't belong
It's the feeling like you're not strong
It's the feeling like you can't do right
It's the feeling like you're lost in the night
It's the feeling like you can't be yourself
It's the feeling like you can't escape the hell
It's the feeling like your voice is unheard
It's the feeling like you're not heard
It's the feeling like you're not seen
It's the feeling like you're unseen
It's the feeling like you're not worthy
It's the feeling like you're forgotten
It's the feeling like you can't breathe
It's the feeling like you can't think
It's the feeling like you can't move
It's the feeling like you can't do
It's the feeling like you can't be free
It's the feeling like you can't be me
It's the feeling like you can't escape
It's the feeling like you can't find the way
It's the feeling like you can't break the chains
It's the feeling like you can't regain
It's the feeling like you can't be safe
It's the feeling like you can't take the pain
It's the signs of emotional abuse
It's hard to tell when it's too late
It's hard to tell when it's too far
It's hard to tell when you're broken down and barred
It's hard to tell when it's all wrong
It's hard to tell when things are gone
It's hard to tell when you're lost in the dark
It's hard to tell when your heart is in a lark
It's the feeling like you can't trust anymore
It's the feeling like you are heading for the door
It's the feeling like you can't be heard
It's the feelings like you're nothing but a bird
It's the feelings of being constantly blamed
It's the feeling like you are shamed
It's the feeling like you're not allowed to be
It's the feeling like you can't be free
It's the feeling like your voice is unheard
It's the feeling like you're not heard
It's the feeling like you're not seen
It's the feeling like you're unseen
It's the feeling like you can't break the chains
It's the feeling like you can't regain
It's the feeling like you can't be safe
It's the feeling like you can't take the pain
It's the signs of emotional abuse
It's hard to tell when it's too late
It's hard to tell when it's too far
It's hard to tell when you're broken down and barred
It's the feeling like you can't be yourself
It's the feeling like you can't escape the hell
