Same Old, same old



I am living on eggshells
afraid to make the wrong move
whatever I do is not right
so why do I feel I have so much to prove

Does this make me look plain
am I wearing the right clothes?
must not wear makeup or skirts
and no high heeled shoes

I can't watch the telly
if it goes past nine
I'd hate to think what would happen
if you knew I wrote poetry on line

Since I have been with you
I've not made a single friend
in no one to confide
cause no body's allowed in

There you go again
slamming all the doors
calling me a stupid c*nt
and a useless whore

I live in fear
a terror deep inside
squeezing and choking me
feels as though I may die

can't see a future
there's no way out
no one cares
how loud I shout!

Author notes

What is the matter with you?
Why is nothing ever right?
When will you start shouting? to
whom will you lash out?

    Make a stand!

    Go before he makes you believe you are no good.
    Go before he treads you into the ground because of his own weakness and insecurities.
    It makes him feel good to be in control of you, a loving heart that cares even now.
    Go lady please!
    Before it is too late, you deserve so much better than this.

    such agony,tragedy like this is heart breaking to see, talk it out seems to help with the pain, this shows so much pain, caring and thinking they care it is degrading to find out differently.great poem you penned..Keep penning ,Linda

    This is so familiar to to, the mental abuse nearly as bad as the physical and causing far more long term damage, it takes so much courage to walk away, and start afresh, but it can be done. An excellent piece, you describe all those feelings so well, I was transported back to those dark days instantly, not good for me, but real proof of your talent. I could go on for pages, so just accept this applause, and I will shut up!
