I'm married to a bully
I didn't know he was like that until I got to this country
I traveled 8,000 miles to be abused, neglected and tormented
and used as a 'white' slave
Slavery stopped in my country, America, 200 years ago
He's proof that it didn't stop in England...

For 6 years I have been used, worked, ridiculed, and made to feel
like less of an animal then his dog
I've blamed myself for being a fool, but I'm not a fool
I was cheated out of my life, and I now have none
I've only stayed here because I have no where else to go
I am not allowed any money..He is in control of that

I'm a diabetic...He is a controling, manipulative bully
and one way to control me and feel big
is to deny me food...I get sick
But I'm not given money to go buy things that I can eat
If I don't or can't eat what is thrown on my plate
I go hungry, sometimes for days...

There's lots of ways he has found to abuse me
None of them leave bruises, but the pain is just as bad
I am a trapped wounded person
Whose only real mistake was to mistake the lies for happiness
All I ever wanted was someone to share with
and I ended up with a monster
I am at HIS mercy...pray for me...
