Domestic violence should not happen to anybody. Ever. Period. But it does - and when it does, there is help. Maybe you have lived with abuse, maybe it happened just once; maybe you work or live next to someone who is being abused right now. Don't take a backseat extend your hand to assist his/her life may depend on it.
Freedom’s Reign
The SLAP of your hand did NOT motivate me
It betrayed my trust in you and destroyed
the ME I wanted to be!
Although you say you love me with all of
your might,
Must I feel that might with constant
physical fights?
Your knee in my chest, your hand around my
throat
Should’ve been a sign to me that this
relationship wouldn’t float.
The pain you cause me is unsuitable to my
mind,
I become weak and disorganized unable to
find….
Unable to find my way to complete overdue
freedom
From you and the madness and overexposed
mayhem.
Today I am here to let you know once and
for all,
That I will no longer be your punching bag
on the living room wall.
I stand before you strong and ever so tall.
With a preparedness to strike back and
never again to fall.
You see right now I OWN YOU with the
Strength of My GOD,
With the attitude to back it up and a mind
racing like a hot rod.
No longer will I be a part of your
agonizing bliss,
You must suffer alone now, never to be
missed.
I can say I loved you, but your returned
love hurt too bad.
I can no longer live my life in fear and
anger feeling sorrowful and sad.
Now I must leave you to meet my FREEDOM WHO
REIGNS
Away from you and the madness the constant
hurt and pain.
