Made Her Bed Inside A Liquor Bottle. Says There Flows Peace in "Total"

 

Her greatest lessons were learnt at home

They taught her that speaking up is talking back; and so she forced herself to zip up. 

Her greatest lessons are learnt alone

She's wondering whether to ask why he's not been home for a week with no phone calls yet both have rings on their fingers; leaves in one house. 

Her greatest lessons are just mere norms 

'Serve him well and don't question; you're supposed to be submissive.'

They taught her that speaking up is talking back; she's zipping it.

And so when he comes back after a week with a smell of another woman's cologne so strong. 

She leaves their wedding bed and makes hers in a liquor bottle; sleeps their until it's all gone. 

Her greatest lessons darkens all she knows

That she can't speak up. Speaking up is talking back....
