Going round and round

Picking your brain apart

Trying to find the answer

Trying to understand

But sometimes,

there’s no other answer than

That’s how they are

That’s just how they are

For the accomplices,

Turning a blind eye becomes a habit

Laughing it off becomes a habit

Demanding understanding

Their go to solution

Remaining silent

All the while witnessing the abuse

Unfortunately,

That’s. Just. How. They. Are
