On This Day I Remember So Well

On this day I remember so well, You attacked me and then I fell, I didn't even see you, But I felt you as I yelled. On this day I remember so well, All this pain I feel so drained, I just want to br free, So I can leave and flee. On this day I remember so well, I look at myself and see a shell, How did I get here? As I feel a tear, Has it really been four years? On this day I remember so well, I feel a bite of a tiny spider, Who was just an outsider, But now I know you're a knight rider, Next time I will be a fighter.

Sounds like an abused woman. Things won't change unless you escape.

I didn't realize that some ppl might see that. I want everyone to see the poem as they imagine. Actually a spider bit me and 6 mos later I was a quadriplegic and it's taken 4 years to start to walk again. Faith and hope guided me to the light away from the darkness. Thank you.
