Excuses

All she was told
Reasons why
It had to be this way
Never choices
Not even one decision
Just more justifications
Until the only escape
Was to be taken away
Starting with her hair
Ripping it out
Then cutting
Following by pills
Until they had no choice
And her freedom was felt
For one brief second
As they called 911
Making her smile briefly
Before passing out
And waking up restrained
In a place
They would never have control again
