When I was little, I used to think the story of my friend's mom breaking the window in her bedroom just to get away from her husband was crazy. I used to believe she was crazy. But now I applaud her for the courage it took to break the window. I dream of taking a bat to this house. To leave, to take that step in leaving. Now I am here there are plenty of windows I could break. There are plenty of times I could've left. But I find myself sitting in my rocking chair tasting blood in my mouth well he tears down everything we've ever built.
