::: She Left :::

She left quietly
Refusing to show her emotions
Like a man she sticks out her chest
And says nothing
For the first time in her life,
She has said everything she wanted,
Without b*tching
She took the last twenty years
Along with a few pieces of clothing
She packed it in a box
And she left

Her mother tried to convince her to stay
To try and work it out
But before her mother could finish her sentence

She grabbed her sh*t and bounced

Without b*tching
Without moaning
Without crying

She took the past twenty years of bullsh*t
Along with a few pieces of clothing
And she left.
