Joanie Yeager Poet I do not know?

Trapped Inside

Trapped inside 
This empty house,
I start to 
Scream I start 
To shout,
I fill like I'm
About to die,
If only I can find
My way outside,
Tears slowly fill
My weeping face,
There’s no way 
To escape this so 
Called fate,
A dark shadow fills
My room,
He's back to 
Finish what's now 
My doom,
He slings me against
A cold brick wall,
I can not walk 
I start to crawl,
A sharp pain 
Fills my chest,
As he begins to beat 
What’s barely left,
I fill as if this 
Is the end
But truly it 
Has just begun.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen May 22, 2009 at 12:41 PM Joanie, this is a power packed emotionally charged poem. Nice job. I hope it is the beginning of the end of that relationship if this is a true story. They do have a home for battered women in most communities. There is NO ACCEPTABLE reason for any human to beat and batter another. Get out if you are in that kind of situation. Call for help. Get counseling. (Both of you-) I get too involved. Congratulations for having your poem featured this week. Keep writing, Loveand Hugs, Dane
