Poem
Where does he go and what can he do, this wife he married is not the same words of love have been replaced by abusive words, bent on giving him shame the sun has turned into rain; you’re trapped, with nowhere to avoid getting wet now caught in the web of her discontent, and holding your head down with regret You look toward compromise, hoping to work things out and make it right only to encounter resistance, she wants nothing less than you out of her sight as words fall on deaf ears reality sets in, you are full of contrition and remorse no it gets worse, she's on the warpath and solely focused on threatening divorce Looking at your young children, with tears in their eyes, what they must now see a crushed father, withdrawn from the world, only wanting to take them and flee while wisdom falters and silence overcomes, still dumbstruck on what you can do remembering a love that once was, but no longer, realizing your marriage is through Surviving the pains and turmoil of divorce, a challenge sought by many before only too often leading some to those bitter waters, transfixed on evening the score but children become the true victims suffering the most, unperceived by those in pain only in adulthood will those scars surface, on future relationships they leave their stain Trying to mitigate emotional scars in any divorce requires sheltering children from your hurt their emotional well-being is of paramount importance, their exposure to anger you must avert while difficult to accept, divorce can sometimes be for the better, perhaps you will yet come to see your door to emotional stability was never locked, search deep within for only there lies its key
