PEACE AT LAST
I SIGH,
I CRY,
I TREMBLE WITH FEAR.
FALLING DOWN MY CHEEK,IS A SINGLE TEAR.
HE'S COMING AT ME WITH A KNIFE.
SOON TO BE A STATISTIC,NOT A BATTERED WIFE.
I LOVED,
I HONERED,
I OBEYED..
SO WITH MY LIFE,I HAVE PAID.
NO MORE HARSH WORDS,
NO MORE SLAPS IN THE FACE.
I'M GONE FOREVER,FROM THE HUMAN RACE...
Reason for writing:
Watching so much abuse and violence on television,gave me the inspiration for this poem.I feel for the women that are abused by their mates.
