Pleading Stare

Listen up please, I’m crying out. I am bleeding on the inside. It’s my pleading stare, not a shout. Abuser beats me everyday, sleep has become my safe haven. Life has become stagnant and gray. I died slowly on the inside, the physical must join spirit. No longer do I have to hide. 10/22/2030 Contest:Tercets Sponsor: Constance La France

Hi Joseph, This poem is fictional the contest. However, I suffered some form abuse in the past. Thanks for your compassionate words and visit. Have a good night:) Alexis
