She was oppressed,
Totally oppressed by him,
The man in her life.
Not a thing could she do,
Not without his approval.
She had to do things his way
Down to the most insignificant things,
Opening or closing the curtains was wrong
Unless he said so,
Eating what she wanted was not allowed,
Meeting friends was dangerous.
Then came that day,
That day when she had had enough.
She told him to go,
It took a great deal of courage
But she persevered.
Her friends comforted her
And at last he went,
Gone from her life,
She was free!
Such a difference can be seen,
The smile on her face is always there,
She can come and go as she pleases,
Her friends surround her.
She can open the curtains
Or,
close them,
It is now her choice.
This lady has changed so much,
So much for the better
Now that her life has returned,
And Freedom abounds.
