Are you experiencing emotional abuse?
Are you living in darkened clouds?
Uncovering the subtle signs of manipulation
That'll make your head, they'll make it spin around
The early signs of a toxic relationship
Are hard to spot until it's all too late
The gaslighting, the isolation, the mind control
They can make you feel like you're in a state
The mocking, the jeering, the silent treatment
The belittling, berating, and undermining
The character assassination and personal attacks
Are all signs of emotional abuse that you should be seeing
The victim blaming, shaming, and guilt tripping
The threats, the lack of boundaries, the control
The constant criticism, the mood swings, and the lies
Can spell out the signs of emotional abuse in your soul
The fear, the pain, the anger and emptiness
The sadness, confusion, and desperation
The silent tears, the broken heart, and the empty void
Can all be signs of emotional abuse and its devastation
The lack of trust, the lack of respect, the lack of empathy
The lack of support, the lack of understanding
The lack of communication, the lack of freedom
Are all signs of emotional abuse that is so demanding
The power plays, the possessiveness, the manipulation
The financial control, the isolation and the interference
The disrespect, the verbal abuse, and the lack of safety
Are all signs of emotional abuse that you should pay attention
The lack of self worth, the lack of confidence, the lack of hope
The lack of self esteem and the lack of empowerment
The lack of joy, the lack of love, and the lack of validation
Are all signs of emotional abuse that need to be addressed with caution
Are you living in darkness and despair?
Are you feeling stuck, like you can't escape?
Uncovering the subtle signs of emotional manipulation
Will help you find your way and create your own fate.
Are you feeling pain and sorrow?
Are your days without joy or hope?
What’s causing you this suffering,
Is it an abuse you can’t cope?
Are you feeling afraid or helpless?
Are your needs never met by anyone?
Are you constantly criticised,
Is your partner full of scorn?
Are you feeling like you’re worthless?
Are you always made to feel ashamed?
Are you never given a chance,
To express yourself and be tamed?
Are you feeling like you’re walking on eggshells?
Do you feel like you’re in the dark?
Do you feel like you’re being controlled,
Like you can’t make a mark?
Are you feeling like you’re losing your identity?
Do you feel like it’s been erased?
Do you feel like you’ve been manipulated,
And you’re constantly being replaced?
Are you feeling like you’re being isolated?
Do you feel like you’re being cut off?
Are you being constantly monitored,
And can’t do anything without being scoffed?
Are you feeling like you’re always on edge?
Are you feeling like you can’t trust anyone?
Are you being made to feel guilty,
For things that you’ve not done?
Are you feeling like you’re being blamed?
Are you feeling like you’re being attacked?
Are you being ridiculed and belittled,
And your worth being taken for granted?
Are you feeling like you’re in an endless cycle?
Are you feeling like you’re stuck in a rut?
Are you feeling like you’re being pushed away,
From the ones you love and care about?
Are you feeling like you’re not being heard?
Are you being constantly undermined?
Are you being threatened and terrorised,
And feeling like you’re not in control of your own life?
