In Marriage
Is not what I found
A loving
Caring man
Around

No
I was pushed
Around
Shouted down

Made
To feel
Less around
This man
I found

But I stayed
Around
And was
Again knocked
To the ground

And with children
I found
More I was
On the ground

Although my
Love for them
I found
I stayed
Around

And was still
Thrown
To the ground
Lack of esteem

I would lay down
And try not to
Frown
But this got me
Down

But one day
I turned
Around
No longer

I would be
Pushed around
I got up from the
Ground

And turned
My life
Around

And now
I have found
What life Is
Really about

Standing
Strong
Alone
