Struggle


He blames it all on her. He tells her what to wear . He asks her who drove her to work. When she drove herself there . She gets home 10 minutes late, and is scared of what he might do . He's yelling at her before she even gets a chance to take off her shoes . He talks down on her , Making her feel worse by the day . He gives her orders , And she only responds with a simple " okay " . On the inside she wants help , This is the worst type of pain she has ever felt , Physically , verbally , mentally She's lucky that this time , he didn't hit her in the face with his belt. The next day she gets into a car wreck . But luckily she wasn't that much hurt . When she got home , He yelled at her about how it sounded like the doctor was trying to flirt. He raised his fist at her , and punched her in her chest . She ran to grab the knife , said she was tired of him putting her to a test. He thought she wouldn't do it , wouldn't hurt him back physically . But it turns out he was wrong , he underestimated her abilities. He attacked her , allowing the knife the flee from her hold, Punched her again , told her to never , ever tend to get that bold. He walked out , still on the floor is where she layed. She said to herself " these games that he have made are done being played " . She stood back up , Strong and bold . " I AM A WOMAN . A STRONG AND PRECIOUS PIECE OF GOLD. " She heard him coming , so she hid by the door . When he entered she shoved a knife right into his side , shanked him , as he fell to the floor. She watched him bleed . Watched him struggle to breathe . Called the police , Explained what happened , Sat down in her car Her seatbelt is what she fastened . Moral of the story , please don't wait Being abused ? Talk to someone , get help , take action . Before its too late. FEEL FREE TO COMMENT AND LEAVE FEEDBACK .
