Are you experiencing emotional abuse?
It's not always easy to trace
Subtle signs of manipulation
Can you see the signs of the chase?
Doubting yourself, feeling confused
Unable to make the right moves
The feelings of insecurity
Are the signs that you can’t choose
Lack of open communication
No one hears your point of view
Stifling your self-expression
The signs that you don’t have a clue
Criticizing your personality
Comments about who you are
Making you feel like you’re wrong
The signs that you’ve gone too far
Manipulating your emotions
Trying to get you to change
Making up stories and lies
The signs of an emotional range
Controlling your life with anger
Threatening to leave for good
Making you feel like you’re nothing
The signs that something is not right in the hood
Early signs of toxic relationships
Relationships with an unbalanced core
The signs of someone who’s not good
The signs that you may need to explore
Uncovering the subtle signs of emotional manipulation
The lies and the hidden deceit
The signs that you’re a victim of abuse
The signs that you’ve been hit with the heat
Manipulating your decisions
Trying to control your thoughts
The signs that the other person is wrong
The signs of the intentions that you ought
Difficult to detect manipulation
It’s hard to identify the clues
The signs that you’ve been abused
The signs that you need to choose
Take a step back, look around
See the signs of distress
Recognize that something is wrong
And take a stand to address
Are you experiencing emotional abuse?
It's not always easy to trace
Subtle signs of manipulation
Can you see the signs of the chase?
Are you experiencing emotional abuse?
Signs that are hard to trace
Uncovering the subtle signs of emotional manipulation
That will bring about your disgrace
When your partner is no longer kind
And the things that they say, unrefined
The days of love and sweetness gone
Your words, they no longer bind
When the future is bleak and bleak
And everything is so bleak
The burden of pain and fear
That will make you so weak
When you feel like you no longer belong
And the anger that's building ever so strong
Your self worth and self esteem
Are nowhere to be found
When all you feel is sadness and despair
And you can't find a reason to care
No longer do you feel safe
Anxiety and stress everywhere
When you find yourself without a voice
Your opinion doesn't hold any choice
Your feelings and desires, denied
Your life is no longer your own
When your partner insults and blames
And you feel all the shame
The cycle of abuse that you’re stuck in
Is all too familiar and plain
When your partner gaslights and blames
And makes sure you’re the one to blame
The truth of the situation
Is what you can no longer name
When you’re held captive in your own home
And the future feels so unknown
The fear of the abuse that you’ll get
Makes you dread being alone
When your partner manipulates and controls
And threatens you with dire goals
Your life feels like it’s spinning out of control
It’s hard to find a safe place to go
When you feel like you’re living a lie
And the truth is constantly denied
The truth starts to feel like a distant dream
Your mind is no longer satisfied
