Her small frame in white housecoat
freshly showered, sixteen candles.
A knock upon steel door,
worried look cautioned her clean face.
Her mouth formed two words
"Not now"
The wolf pounced,
snarling obscenities across the house.
Close behind, my eyes shot lightning.
Cowering under his large shadow
blond hair falling across her face.
heaving tears fell, upon tiny shaking hands
darkness snuffed out lighted birthday cake.
Terrorising wolf raised a fist
phone in my hand, imaginary scream
"maybe me, but never her!"
One final push, our lives changed.
Seventeen candles, freedom's smile
will light our dwelling soon.
Make-up and friends love will mend
laughter and song around us,
my baby girl once again.
mom will love you and keep you safe always. We are free looked down upon from people who never knew my 20 years of hell and my children having to endure but i finally freed myself and them.
Yes it's scary and i was alone, hardship came but with kindness of others i made it. We are Survivers!!!!!!!!
Please spread your story to everyone who will listen, post it on bulletin boards in grocery stores, churches, colleges, on telephone poles, in bus & train stations, anywhere there is a lot of traffic.
3. Freedom -- Leaving your abuser is the hardest thing you ever have to do, once you are in a relationship that beats you down to nothing. You have no self-esteem or confidence in yourself, you feel depressed, worthless, defeated and dirty. You are embarrassed about your bruises and the bad treatment of you verbally in front of others. How do we help these women have faith in themselves again? How do we give them courage to leave, to file a report of complaint with the police and authorities? (Not that a lot of state's police force will do anything anyway, but at least a person of an institution is notified.) How do we help them and their children start a new life, by teaching them to fish, not just giving them a fish?
Take my small story and run...don'y worry there is a way out.
You have a choise believe me for years i didn't know.
Ps.
To a special friend who feed my kids pizza when he knew i had nothing from far away... i will never forget your kindness.
