My Own

[butterflydreamer]

Through the bedroom mirrors, I saw tears fall from my eyes,

Just right beside me was a horror in disguise,

Morning after another, I heard his unpleasant snoring,

Remembering I had left my mother, to end to see him scowling.

I am dedicated to my family...

 

With all three children in the house, he bruised me eternally,

The dry taste in my mouth grew with urges for liberty,

Wandering around the house for refuge,

quietly praying for sanity, but left me more confused.

I am dedicated to my family...

 

Breathing deeply until he was gone,

Waiting for someone to fix what he had done wrong,

The countless hour when he was out,

gave me the chance to release myself and shout.

I am dedicated to my family...

 

I carried all three on my back,

Keeping my promise to leave and never remember "Jack",

Our lives began fruitful, finally

Although he is no longer with us now,

I am dedicated to my family.

This is very good. I like it.

This was really good, It really disgusts me how some men can be so damn abusive and yet still have families...actually, it just simply disgusts me as to how anybody can be abusive, it's pathetic.

 

If it was legal to put every one of them in their place...I would.

Thank you for your comments. I wrote this poem in my literature class in JC. After five years of divorcing, I had the courage to write it. It empowered me in a such a profound way that it seems as if that was another person. Thank you!

Congrats on not only the poem but leaving. You're a brave person for doing that and thankyou for sharing that poem. I hope other who are suffering in silence read it and realise how much better life is without the abuse.

 

I'm glad you got through it. Great work.
