Roebain Christians Poet Rhyme

The Pact

What will you do, when a man tells you,
         After 20 years he never loves you?
                 He wishes you dead.
       He only married you for the benefits.
	         What will you do?	

                  I made a pact.
             The pain I endured,
             I’ll never feel it again.
          I had to cut all the poison,
           From every cell and vein,
        Out of  my body and memory.

           It took a while to recover,
        And heal from a scorpions’ sting,
      But luckily I have God and my kids.
         His poison kept me prison,
               For many years.
         I build a wall around myself,
        Too fall in love never again.

           But then I realized,
      If I let this wall, just get stronger,
              He will win.
            I remain a victim.
         I took a sledgehammer, 
           And broke it down.
                  I am free,
            No more a captive,
             But a survivor.
