Luka

And this is how I feel my entire life so far. This song is simply spectacular. How the author was able to capture and express so well how a person under domestic violence feels is a mystery from another dimension.

Luka

My name is Luka

I live on the second floor

I live upstairs from you

Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night

Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

Just don't ask me what it was

Just don't ask me what it was

Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy

I try not to talk too loud

Maybe it's because I'm crazy

I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry

And after that you don't ask why

You just don't argue anymore

You just don't argue anymore

You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay

I walked into the door again

If you ask that's what I'll say

And it's not your business anyway

I guess I'd like to be alone

With nothing broken, nothing thrown

Just don't ask me how I am

Just don't ask me how I am

Just don't ask me how I am

My name is Luka

I live on the second floor

I live upstairs from you

Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night

Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

Just don't ask me what it was

Just don't ask me what it was

Just don't ask me what it was

They only hit until you cry

And after that you don't ask why

You just don't argue anymore

You just don't argue anymore

You just don't argue anymore

Suzanne Vega is the genius: either she is the most empathetic person on earth or she suffered herself the horrors of Domestic Violence. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZt7J0iaUD0

My 'uncle', 'Bolivar Holanda de Oliveira', once asked me to draw something for him when I was about 9 years old. I then drew a woman with a shield getting arrows thrown against it or something similar. He then asked why. I said it was me. My 'aunt' was really mean to me all the time, so that I felt attacked almost all the time when with her, but I actually felt as if I were being attacked all the time in general as well.
