It Always Has Been - Process Your Anger about the Human Condition

It Always Has Been

In a sudden moment of clarity,
She realizes that he never
Respected her.

In retrospect it seems so clear,
The constant belittling,
Snide remarks, manipulation.

A pervasive pattern of control
Passed off as caring,
Actions intended to subjugate.

She tells herself it can’t be true,
While knowing deep inside
It always has been.
