I appolize if the pic or poem offends anyone. I feel abuse should be recognized. So many women..and men...go through abuse every day and are afraid to tell. This poem may not reflect what a person should do if he or she is being abused..but it does convey the horror.
Coffin so cold. Same as you
Wonder what I will do
I stand here while no tears come
All I can feel is numb.
Stark reality is sitting in
You will never hurt me again.
All the years I have lived through
At the hand of the rage in you.
I have suffered pain and bruises
Now look at which one of us loses.
Black eyes and fear is all I had
Now all I can feel is glad.
You can not hit me from the grave
You cannot curse and rant and rave.
I feel like I've been sit free
A wieghts been lifted off of me.
Your body cold. It has no breath
You lay here in the arms of death
No one will ever abuse me again
Today you pay for all your sin.
I must go now. They won't let me stay
You are gone, now I must pay.
Back to the cell where I lay my head
With no regrets that you are dead.
WoW! Linda, I must have missed this one,
thats to show you that justice is truly blind, this occurs too often, "but dead abusers will stay dead". while the abused will never heal, "in the mind"

wieghts is spelled weight's ("I" before "E", except after "C", and in words like "neighbor" and "weight")
I can feel the pain and the images are well written. This is certainly dark and speaks volumns on the subject of an often silent tragedy that faces many...
Continue to write with conviction and without fear...

Linda, please spell apologize right! A very good poem. With a picture that creates revulsion. The kind of picture printed in the sensational tabloids like "The Globe."
But you accommplished your object. I guess that is all that matters. Bill
Excellent write. Your words are dead on target! Why do we accept this kind of behavior...

Abuse? You think anybody cares? All your cries will be heard only by the abnused not by them that abuse.
Perhaps justice has been served, but which kind? Maybe some of these women would not have to suffer for protecting themselves if the justice system could have protected them from their abusers.
Linda, very sad poem. No one should have to put up with any type of abuse. It is sad that in some cases as your poem the person has to pay with her life. Great write.
Dear Linda, Your write was well written. I must say no matter how much abuse one takes does not warrent killing. After all Jesus said strike me and I will turn my other cheek. Abuse is bad in every form. Yet it is a human trait.

An excellent message.. and so sad that the abuse has to go so far to the point where the abused kills, then ends up serving time in jail... Have they not already spent more years than most in a living hell.. *sigh*

Oh wow yes this is what happens if the abuse goes to far the one being abused strikes out it was a real eye opening poem great job on it but you must know that anything you write or show is never offensive because it is reality and it must be told so keep chin up my angel and keep writing so that others know the horrible things that happen out here in reality
"We walked in on a surreal scene. There are few words, if any, to accurately describe the abject horror..."
