My husband shouted and threw stuff,
my tears began to flow,
with him in such an angry rage
I wanted to turn and go.
He shouted at me to stay,
I just watched and cried,
he then yelled at me
and came over by my side.
He threatened me with violence,
words that scared me bad,
I wanted to run and hide,
his behavior made me sad.
I didn't want to feel this way,
he hurt me in many ways,
his rage had destroyed me
my fear was intense for days.
In my heart I prayed for an end
to a marriage that brought me grief,
I was living with so much pain
I needed some help and relief.
Angels came and took my hand
and guided me safely away,
free from an abusive marriage,
I was glad that I didn't stay.
Therapy has helped me through
the process of inner healing,
although I have many memories,
deep pains I'm no longer feeling.

I like that you make a spiritual reference for survival. So often we think we are entirely alone and that there's no way to cope. Good luck in the contest.
