Tyshawn Knight Poet Rhyme

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 just wrote this poem to explain why I stayed so long. Tyshawn Knight March 15, 2018 at 10:57 AM I did finally leave him. He became very ill. I just wrote this poem to explain why I stayed so long.
