Glimmer of Light
Why bother telling anyone, no one cares at all.
If anyone asks about the bruise, I just say I had a fall.
I told the police one day about him hitting out all the time,
They wrote it down and told him off, said: “Sir it’s a crime”.
He hit harder saying “go on call for help”
Laughing “where’s the police now? Stop your yelps”
How do I escape this hell if no one wants to know?
I didn’t know where to turn to, so I just let the violence flow.
Oh words of venom he spat with tirades of verbal insults,
Then came a slap, punch kick, as he said it was ALL my fault.
Now I am at the point that I am of no use to anyone,
Life is pain filled, frightening, scared of everyone.
Back then I asked for a tiny glimmer of light,
Help me off this path of an eternal damming night.
I hated my life that way, please try and understand.
It is so hard for a victim to reach out and take a stand.
The reason for sharing my story over and over again,
Is to give awareness and recognition to end Domestic
Violence. Amen

Many thanks for the welcome and as with all writing I think we have to experience pain to express wholeheartedly. The reason for me writing is I hope that my words reach out and give even just one person "a glimmer of light" that there is a way out just don't suffer in silence. x
