She Sits (yeah I wrote a poem, stop laughing)

She sits, she watches
She listens, she learns
She learns what not to do.

She sits, she gets wounded
She listens, she begs
She learns he does not hear.

She sits, she obeys
She listens, she cries
She learns she does not matter.

She sits, she bruises
She listens, she stuffs it down inside
She learns he does not love her.

She sits, she bleeds
She listens, she hears her silence
She learns he feels no guilt.

She sits, she is not safe
She listens, she begs again
She learns he does not care.

She sits, she thinks
She listens, she hears her thoughts
She learns she has the power.

She sits, she speaks
She listens, she tells him to leave
She learns she has strength.

She sits, she is lonely
She listens, she remembers
She learns to be herself.

She sits, she smiles
She listens, she hears music
She learns she is happy.

She sits, she wonders
She listens, she chooses
She learns she makes her destiny.

She sits, she breathes
She listens, she is relaxed
She relizes she is now free.
