Puppet In Your Play

   Rated "PG" by the Author.

Abuse is a horrible situation to live with. Whether you have been abused, are being abused, or know someone who is being abused, be it physical, verbal, pyschological you can't let it destroy you. Even though this is a subject that is written about frequently because it is more prevelant than many of us would like to believe I feel it is necessary to bring it to the forefront time and again...

You laugh and taunt me everyday
I was a puppet in your play
Knowing how to set the stage
You poked and prod...
You were unkind.


As my hair stood straight on end
A sarcastic laugh sliced me from within
Laughing some more you'd peel back my skin
Watching me squirm...
Your pleasure, given.


This game of anger and revenge
Designed to hurt me time again
For years I let you pull my strings
Handing you my soul...
For Hell's dominion.


Dragging me to the door of death
Your venomous smile, I won't forget
Forgiving you is the only way
I'll prosper and grow...
Instead of decay.


Anger is only one letter away from danger
I learned, I live, I thank God each day...

And a cast iron skillet up side the head when the jerk is asleep gets a valid point across. I am glad that my husband never abused me.
