As I volunteer in an area of social work that brings me into contact with cases of domestic violence... I was inspired to write this poem...
The anger...
Your flesh, Nobody's to abuse,
Your bone, Not there's to break,
Your blood, Not there's to spill,
Your soul, Nobody's to keep...
Your life? Incomparable,
Your choices? No way judged,
The harm, inexcusable...
The silence, a plague...
Your fears, understandable,
Life? Unbreakable...
Your storms, recovering,
Your spirit, indestructible...
