Life inside domestic abuse.
When I met you, I thought everything was wonderful
As I got to know you, things started to get cruel
All you wanted to do was change me, but when I didn’t agree
My life was completely altered to a new degree
Lightly at first, about a year into it
Gradually, things were done for your benefit
You degraded me to the point
I felt I had reached an endpoint
I was alone, I relied on only you
Because without you I had no value
You trained me like a dog to your command
I could do no better, without your demand
I was lucky that you even acknowledged me
No matter what you did, I should be happy
Your daily put downs, sent me spiraling towards a deep, dark abyss
Finally, as you wished, I didn’t care about anything I’d miss
When the fights came, I often wished for death to take me out
But I survived, bruised and hurt, but alive for the next bout
What could I say, I had no voice
Immaturity ruled my choice
I am stronger than that now
I forgive you, but this I vow
I will never forget…..the pain.
Scars will permanently remain
