Blaming the Broken

When I spoke my mind

You punched me in the ear

        And more

To teach me a lesson

        Now I’m broken

You trapped me in your apartment

        Chained me to the radiator

Because I said no

        I’m broken too

You took me in the night from my bed

Where I was safe

        For your amusement

        And I will never be unbroken

                Again

You make your problem our problem

        Our daughters

And our sons too

Need our strength

        But we are all broken

Because you are

We are not your playthings

Grow up, Man up

Stop making excuses

        Because there aren’t any

And fix your shit

We’ll be waiting
