Prisoner

I've been in  prison for most of my life,
Not man made bars, I'm an abused wife.

Hi Alexis, just went through your poems, this one is so true, and so sad! People think abuse is only physical, mental abuse is as bad if not worse. May you have a blessed Christmas my dear friend - love from across the vast oceans! Jennifer.
