Domestic Violence
Not
cancer
within our bones,
But it’s a cancer of our
homes.
It’s a “hierarchy” deemed
“alright”
But it’s a
battle
– a true
fight.
It’s a longing for
control
and
It’s a simple
punch
, fist, hand
Or not even that. It could be
Lashing words
that
ignore
her
plea.
He
denies
her to her
loved
ones
For that’s who would
step up
with guns
Of
love,
ropes of
safety
. “Keep
quiet,”
She’s told, which is now her best bet.
It’s
shame
that keeps her in
silence.
It’s
love
that frees her from *violence.
