Poem #66 Introspection


We have been married 11 years, it seems so long,
Except for at start, you have never been strong;
You take pride in saying, I am not your family or a priority,
Making our marriage seem farce, like a mere formality.

You married me, with false promises of truth and love,
Trust, loyalty and friendship, you readily gave a shove;
You chose to make every second, with me a hurdle,
Your actions towards me, always leaned on the side of brutal.

You never hesitated, to pick up a fight,
You took not a bit of pity, at our sad plight;
You seized every chance, to put me to shame,
Making me the scapegoat, for all the blame.

Every second that you are around,
I feel trapped, unable to make a sound;
I want to only, scream and shout,
The deep despair, I feel inside out.

Today I ask myself, why I am still here,
With all the stress, living each second in fear;
Why subject myself, to this life of lie,
Move on I should, and be happy before I die.
