This is another poem that I wrote about domestice violence.

Women all over the place.

Have a dangerous monster they face.

It bruises them inside-out.

It makes them question their lives,

with serious doubt.

Once that fist thumbs up at them.

Most mothers themselves they can’t defend.

This effects our children the most.

Because the abuse is near and very close.

Being beaten mentally and physically is not love.

Women are not prize fighters, they don’t wear gloves.

The best way to avoid this is to move away,

and hopefully he will not come looking for you every day.

You must consider the alternatives.

It’s your family’s advantage for you to live.

Domestic violence sometimes results in death.

A lot of women go through this for years.

They lay down and this abuse they accept.

    Excellent article, very close to home!!! No woman should go through this, it really batters their faith, emotion, body, mind etc. It makes them distrust life completely and hate the male species altogether.

    Do read But I Love You, it complements your poem well: http://authspot.com/poetry/but-i-love-you-2/
