Ripped, torn

Tears on my face

Whole body shakes

In a police car

Eyes can’t see straight

Numb

Handfuls of my hair

In my hands

That you ripped out

As you tried to rip

My very personality out

Pushed me down

Choked me unconscious

Drug me through the dirt

Like you tried to do

To my name

Yet the police question me

Just because I’d had a drink
