Despite the Pain, a New Beginning

Pain litters the once joyful heart Hurting every day. Lies pile up constantly. In the darkness of her bedroom screams and cries no hears cause agony and despair. Her innocence is lost, Lost like her trust. Pain captures millions, to hold on to forever. His temper so uncontrollable like a warm summer storm. His icy grasp uncooperative, uncaring, knocks her forcefully to the floor. Their children asleep in their bedrooms, so afraid of daddy, their laughter has ceased, like silence that shouldn't be. Tears fall like rain on her cheeks. Knowing he'll soon strike again so she'll forgive him, time and time again. Amidst all the rainbow colored bruises there is one piece of truth. After all the abuse she takes there's hope for her. A new life without him. Without him there to hit her and make her cry. Despite all the pain she's endured there's a brand new beginning for her and her children.
