But Of Course

Sorry, this is a bit dark...

“No I won’t!”

But of course I do, I am just a girl, so of course I do.

“Please mother, don’t make me.”

But of course she does, she has no say - she’s just a woman, so of course she does.

“I don’t want you to do it!”

But of course he does, he’s a man, he has bought me, so of course he does.

“Get off, let go!!!”

But of course he doesn’t, he has no emotions �" only cold eyes and strong hands, so of course he doesn’t.

“She’s my baby, don’t hurt her!”

But of course they do, we are poor �" she’s just a dowry, so of course they do.

“I was his wife, don’t take the money!”

But of course they do, I’m just a poor, broken woman, so of course they do.

“I’m dying, just one bowl?”

But of course she doesn't, I am dirty, crazy, worthless, useless, of course she doesn't.

“Father, please! Don’t you remember?! Let me back, don’t shut the door!”

But of course he does, a disgrace, a waste of time and money, of course he does.

“Leave me alone!”

But of course they don’t, I’m just a shell of a person - do what you want; I am past caring, so of course they don’t.

“Just let me die, I am nothing, I am dirty, crazy, worthless, useless.”

And of course I do, that is my only one true joy in this world, so of course I do.
