Notes About The Poem

This does not represent the views of my work place. this represents my thoughts on extreme cases of domestic abuse and the feeling of helplessness.

Domestic Abuse

Under layers of pain wrapped in the hurt, 
Under betrayal hidden from sight,
Pinned to her heart that’s broken and black, 
Pinned to a feeling of spite,

She walks and stumbles and falls to the ground, 
Naked she’s dazed, she’s stunned,
But her body no longer feels anything, 
Her body’s emotionally numbed,

From all of the years of walk the thin line, 
Domestically handcuffed to this beast,
Her mind was a toy for his psychotic games, 
A game where her mind was the feast,

Now all she does is stumble and fall, 
Bleeding her mental farewell,
Existing in a tragic life that has gone, 
Living a life full of hell.

It certainly is a really sad and beautiful poem, sometimes I wonder that how can a human being be so cruel that he can do such a worse act to a fellow human, even they have a sister, they sre born of a mother, can't they sense how painful it can be for someone, there s whole life is destroyed, just because someone want to have a little fun, believe me thst such people don't even have the right to be called humans, they are beast,
