Splits his head open. (Sid taught me this move: wrap the tongue of the belt round your hand, use the buckle as the weapon, it's important to lock your arm straight whilst you wield the belt, and do the worst thing you can think of first. That’s the only chance you’ve got.)

    It feels like a sort of self betrayalYour abuser makes you laugh in public; yet treats you like a wet napkin in private.To them you are only useful until your are disposable again.So you join in the laughter.Silence the ten angry women inside of you.Hoping that maybe, next time it is youand the abuser alone things could be a little bit different.But them or things; they never change.And you; you always stay.You always hope.You always laugh.It feels like a sort of self betrayal
