True Poem of Abuse

~True Story Of Abuse~ Marrying her at an immature age, older by 30 years, arranged marriage by her father. Abuse started from day one. Raped fiercely that night, screamed for hours unable to move, she dozed off. Ordering her to get his tray of breakfast, in bed, once in with the tray, he glared at her, with ferocious eyes, snatched it, smashed it on her head, the boiling coffee burning her face, the glass hit her head strongly, a mortal blow, she lost conscious. He held her by her hair opened a dark small room threw her inside, and closed the door. Not knowing what to do, her face hurting from the burns, the head bleeding from the glass, so tortured she dozed off. A bang the door opens he snatches her from her hair again take her to the dirty old bed, and begins raping her like a wild animal. She lost conscious, and woke up again in the same dark room, dirty, aching, hungry, helpless, not knowing when someone anyone would come to her rescue. After a few nights the same procedure, she started fainting out of weakness. One dark night he carried her far in his car, she felt being thrown out, lost conscious. Awake in the hospital completely blind screamed? where am I? mother please dad, her mum held her caressed her, told her what is wrong with her, due to the abuse of days and nights. Sorry my child, you will be blind, disfigured, pregnant but please don't worry, we will take care of you and your child. Apologizing and crying. They took her home that day, to her room.They left the room, she never saw them again, she committed suicide later a knife right into her heart. Bled to death. Her true story as an abused newly wed. age 16. 8/5/2013 Therese Bacha.

Bloody hell Terry, this needed to be written, i've never been able to understand why humans feel the need to be superior by abuse.

Very sad and even sadder is the fact that it actually happens a lot more than people realize. Susan's contest is sure opening up the platform for many types of messages on abuse. Great job, Terry. My student is here now, just as I saw this poem!! so I am going home for the day. Luv, Andrea

Hi Russell, it is actually a true story of someone I knew years ago when we were kids, and she did kill herself after 2 years, as many started bulling her. She could not take it anymore, she took a whole box of aspirin during the night, her mum found her dead in the morning. It was so sad. Good night Love Terry xoxo
