    This is the newest poem by me. I plan on trying to write another one sooner or later. I'm in one of those moods where I'm filled with so many emotions, but I just can't put them into words =\

    By His Hand


    Bending over backwards
    Crawling on all fours
    Crying to the sky and stars
    Hiding welts and sores

    Praying for a savior
    Worshiping a blade
    Rewards for your behavior
    In bruises of every shade

    Yelling at the mirror
    Spitting at yourself
    Can't explain it clearer
    Just play the card thats dealt

    You're knocked out on the floor
    His nails are in your flesh
    He was waiting at the door
    Screaming loud, blood is fresh

    Now you understand
    And this is the last straw
    No longer live by his hand
    Toss that card and draw


    Its about an abusive relationship, where you feel like you can't escape it, and you want somebody else to try and save you. Finally when you're attacked so bad that you could have or thought you would die, you know that you've had enough and have to better yourself.

    I really like you. You're a very productive new member.

    You post intelligently and aren't completely grammatically challenged like many of the other new members. And you're not becoming inactive like a lot of them do as well.

    Anyway.

    I really like this. In fact, it is one of the best poems I have seen on this website.

    You did a really amazing job. I like the second verse the best.
