The escape

Listen - Beyonce

Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But can't complete
Listen,
to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen....

[Chorus]Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh, Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..

You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
Sooo long ago
Ohh I'm free now and my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your arms
All cause you won't Listen...

[Chorus]
I don't know where I belong
But i'll be movin on
If you don't....
If you won't....

LISTEN..To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But I will complete
Oh,Now i'm done believin you
You dont know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what,
you made of me
I followed the voice,
you think you gave to me

But now I gotta find, my own..
my ownn...

A wonderful song with deep, deep lyrics.

A song that I sing in my heart (or wished they have in theirs because its a song that portrays strength and courage) when a friend comes up with "I need to tell you something" and its about their marital woes. Issues they cant (or think they cant) resolve due to being a woman. Staying in a marriage they dont wanna be in. Screaming inside, behind a smiling face. Trophy wives, wives that can't escape a marriage due to being dependant financially and emotionally, wives who who are beaten and hurt ovedr and over again, wives who are even confused whose child did they give birth to/still carrying.

I can only talk to them or just listen to what they go through. A war within themselves that they have to win. An emotional battle that consumes them by the day due to hate, anger, sadness and the accumulated wrath that builds by every minute they are beside (or have to be beside) the partner they once knew.

They may be smart at calculating each and every step so that they don't have to suffer further consequences, but until when? Until they come again to me when things recur?

I can only pray... and I hope, they are strong. Strong, hard-willed, and determined of identifying what they want in life. May they all find the answer, which is deep within them.

I did mine. I know they can.
