How am I suppose to do this?
How can I love you so much
and give birth to our child
when all you do is hurt me
These bruises on my arms
are nothing
compared to the ones on my heart
that you cannot see
How am I suppose to go through each day?
Flinching at your every movement
watching every word I speak
and loving you like I do
You are not worth this...
the pain you inflict on me
or the tears you make me cry.
Something has to change.
I deserve better
and this child that I carry
doesn't deserve the stress
that hurts him so much
How can I let you be his father
when all you do is hurt us?
And you expect me to keep loving you...
but how can I?

This is a heart wrenching piece, shame it actually happens. I can relate to what you've written here to easily. You have really captured the confusion and torment of being stuck in that situation well. A brilliant poem. Good luck in the contest, this should place
