What he knows

[JustKeepSinging]

One day I hope I’ll be brave enough to share these on a wider ‘platform’

What He Knows

He knows the fear will keep me silent
He knows that shame will take my words
He knows the weight of his secret
Will ensure I’m seen but never heard

He knows how to f**k up my heard
He knows that he controls my heart
His choice of words and actions
Set against me from the start

He knows all my deepest secrets
I thought that I knew his too
But the biggest one he was hiding
Was that he was never really true

I foolishly thought that I knew
This handsome, charming man
But he turned out to be the wolf
And I was just the lamb

Blindly led and believing
When there was darkness, he was the light
Always pushing down the feeling
That something wasn’t right

Tangled in his web of lies
Awash in a sea of doubt
Broken down into believing
That there is no way out

Forced to face a sentence
Of a life shrouded in fear
His “love” chaining me to him
Is the path that’s led me here

He knows the power he wields
He knows what he has done
He knows that he is right
He knows he’s never wrong

He doesn’t know that I know
That I see what he has become
He doesn’t hear the voice inside me
That has started to grow strong

One day, I hope I will know
The strength of my own free will
The beauty of speaking MY truth
That will make me stronger still

That’s fantastic. It’s what he thinks he knows. He doesn’t know what’s coming. He doesn’t know you have an inner strength and you can use it x

Beautiful poem, with such strong words… how they destroy us from the inside out… somehow I think in a poem the words then speak for themselves…
Sending hugs x*x
