My Book of Poems

She never knew that married couples abused & cheated on each other, let alone beat each other up!
Because she was raised in a loving family her dad & mom never fought like this nor did her brothers and sisters,
She never saw her family hurt neither one another, nor others ever fight, at this she was shocked when it started to happen too her.
First he began coming home later, & later, then the yelling & pushing would start, be for she knew it life an her marriage,
No longer, felt safe.
However, why Over & ever she would ask herself as she would leave him for a time but the love for her son would make her return,
Then it would start all over again, only to face more abuse, heart ache & causing more fear to be placed with-in our dear boys!
Then one night laying across her bed crying, as the tears drops ran the ink together she began to write her feeling down,
As though she was the only women being treated as this, or so she thought! Why does this keep going, because she was faithful?
The drugs & alcohol began to consume her, she has now lost her self, and has no one to turn to, now alone it was doing or die.
Yet after time the words began to rime, & poetry began to flow from pin to paper, as she wrote words of Love, & Sorrows,
Family, friendship, greetings for the holidays, life & death, along with fighting drugs, & losing children because she has faced all
With the words in her book of poems, all straight from the heart, may they help you .or touch you, in some way, shape & form!
