Chaos

Waken in the middle of the night by the sound of someone pounding against the window pane, heart racing as you jump up to investigate.  Oh no you think, not him again wondering why he will not leave you alone.  Fear grips your heart and your stomach is tied into knots, as shakily you dial 911. The police finally arrive, illuminating the room with the blare of their bright light. This is the same old story once again, and you wonder will you ever feel safe. Sleepless nights are piling up and the toil begin to show on your face, as you try to keep your dark secret from the world outside. You’re a victim of emotional and physical abuse. Afraid to share your fear and scare to fight back, as you feel like mush on the inside. Your self esteem has dropped to a new low, as you protect the illusion that everything is fine. You continue smiling on the outside while your life is filled with chaos.
