I Told My Abuser
I told my
abusive fiancé
That I was
writing an
award winning
novel
My songs
That were
unsung
Until I was
Done
With him
He'd have
a star
A shining chapter
My gift of
reading between
his lines
My intelligence
Coping with
His dubious sins
Twisting me
Into his plot line
But wait........
Not any more
I have a new book
To write
I'm going to shine
On my own
My gifts bestowed
With my pen
Nothing will
Hold me back
I'm a very gifted
Woman
Passionate
and on the right
track
Strap on your
Seat belt
I'm going to
Take you
For a ride
With my own
Plot lines
