Why I Won'T Leave My Mean Dog

A reply to Caren's poem No one can understand his hold on me I don't love my man He said he'd kill me if I'd leave He is like a bull dog No one can conceive Don't judge me because I am afraid Don't judge 'til you've lived my pain. Just pray that the day I can get away It is life or death...I'm living in shame.

I did finally leave him. He became very ill. I just wrote this poem to explain why I stayed so long.
