Leighton Rees Poet Rhyme

I Am Stronger

I am stronger....

You smile at me,
Then give a great sigh.
You raise your hand,
And soon make me cry.  

You say I'm not worthy,
I'm a bloody disgrace.
You solve all these issues,
With a punch to my face.

I have bled, I have lied,
I have ached in my heart.
I have covered the bruises, 
Torn my whole life apart.

Then come the words,
The sorries, the tears.
The begging, the pleading,
The guilt and the fears.

But now I am stronger,
I have left all that pain.
I have left you, you bastard,
You won't hurt me again. 


STOP DOMESTIC ABUSE.

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.
