My escape plan
involves a gun
three dead bodies
his mine and my dog
It
is
the
only
way
he
will
let
me
go
I stopped being afraid along time ago
now
I
am
a
n

It is just a dream I have at night.

aah...I love how you put the emphasis on 'it is the only way he will let me go' and 'angry'. It almost shows as if this person has given a lot of thought, almost an obsession, to how to be let go...and anger is the emotion which predominates the person, almost tormenting her...i really like the feel of this, speaks a lot, in so few lines!

I think I'm going to host a contest just for this poem, I love it! LOVE IT! I can't belive you haven't taken home a small trophy case just for this. Very powerful! Great work as always!

WHY Why why? why must you take out the DOG! lol ~ i'm only kidding ~ The write is interestingly different ~ creative layout ~ This is not the best solution to this type of problem ~ Men who are possessive and won't let a woman go ~ Woman resort to thinking they have no choices ~ there are plenty of choices woman can make to get out of the this type of relationship ~ ~ First is contacting a good Lawyer ~ then finding a good place to hide ~ there are many centers that will protect woman in violent situations ~
Sad write ~ overall ~ Sad choices ~
I do appreciate you sharing your work with me ~ thanks so much for entering the "set the bar" contest ~ best of luck to you! -
Turning the nightmare into a sweet dream hung upon the cross. Great Write. Absolutely love this piece.

I love it
This is one I could never write but I can feel the power in it.

ehh, thank you for entering my contest.

Wow!
If you don't win this contest, I am going to be disappointed. This is excellent and follows the contest rules to a tee. It sends a sensation that is like a calm before the storm. You can just imagine this woman who has been pushed so far to the edge, that emotions become a thing of the past.

I liked your use of words, and the form is very unique. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting Form
The best revenge is to live well.
Short of your own personal safety,
the hardest thing is to walk away from ones own feelings,
about the abuse, spiritual deprivation and the crippling feelings of low self value.
Almost as devastating is to walk away from an abusive relationship just to slam into another one.
The best recovery is to grow into the self-love you deserve and to recognize the beauty you already possess.

Only takes one dead body---his. Keep the dog and ride away

Oh boy one of the scarriest things ever is a determined pissed off woman!
