Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

NinjaGirl

Shoulda

well you shoulda said no

well you shoulda ran away

well you shoulda fought back

Woulda

well I woulda screamed

well I woulda escaped right away

well I woulda beat the crap out of him

Coulda

well you coulda told someone

well you coulda forgiven him

well you coulda moved on already

        Three words that are best not to use in real life or in a poem either. The disempower. A powerful write even with the use of them

          Thank you

          There are so many Coulda`s and none of them are ever helpful to anyone, let a lone those experiencing the trauma and pain, powerfully expressed.

            Yes--these "coulda's" only blame the victim instead of the perpetrator.
