Poem
Why do we let the people who supposedly love us, abuse us? Abuse has many forms but the most insidious is verbal Physical pain is forgotten but the spoken word has a great impact on our minds We are constantly put down, told we are useless, nasty things said by someone who says they love us. Abuse is not only against women and children Many men are also in abusive situations Many of us feel it is all our fault, that we caused it Any type of abuse should be addressed, we need to stop hiding it and let the world know that we have a worth and that we don't deserve to be constantly hurt by those who say they love us. We need to stand up for ourselves and our families, but we also need to help friends who we suspect are in abusive relationships We need to make a stand and stop the hurting. I know of what I write because I lived it as did my family. I was one of the lucky ones. Others are often not as fortunate We need to make a difference and make abuse a thing of the past. This is national Abuse Awareness Month Make a difference in someone's life!
