Domestic

Domestic violence, I feel it in your silence, I see the pain in your eyes, hearing the torture in your cries. Bruises, broken bones your half dead, he battered you so badly there's scars on your head, with the feeling of dread. To weak to fight his strength, you'd go to any length, to break free run from this bully, he don't love you in his heart not truly or fully. Excuses are running out, you have to get out U can hear him coming, you get the urge to start running. You freeze he grabs you by the hair, pleading with him to stop, in this rage he doesn't care. Another punch in the face, he throws you around, too young to pick you up off of the ground. He says he didn't mean it, i wish you could of seen it from the beginning, he's got a hold of you he thinks he's winning. walking on egg shells living in this hell, too afraid to speak out, there's no one you can tell. He rapes you batters you inflicts all this pain, stripped you of your dignity, makes you feel insane. Domestic violence, break your silence fight back your strong, what he's doing is wrong

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I hear you.....I see behind the closed doors. You invited people inside the usually cloaed doors to see the dv which happens every day to people like you and me. Easy to relate. Strong word choice for a strong poem by an even stronger person delivering the message. Hopefully helps to open eyes of another person going through similar dv abuse.
