Father? Husband? Brother?
I really don't know much of you.
But over the years growing up,
I heard different things about you.
Supposedly...
You are creatures of power!
Apparently; you protect, you provide
You love, you nature, you are Kings!
I suppose there's a great rift
Between expectation and reality
As my feet swing helplessly
And this choke hold I'm in
Seems to tighten its grip on me
As each second elapses...
My heart is pounding,
My eyes are wet and bulging;
Wondering how did we get here?!
How this seemingly sweet romance,
Flipped into a daily hellish torture..
This "gentleman" turned demon!
With the daily purpose of sucking
The life out of me... all of it.
Sweet words no longer whispered,
Just ice cold letters crafted to stab!
Now every beautiful moment
Has a hellish lining...
What ever could go wrong, will.
I'm tired of sitting in the corner,
Tired of being used and abused
In the name of love.
Today I am a woman...
Not this helplessly vulnerable thing
I must gather the strength of all women
Just to save my self... and maybe others like me.
And so I stand up for myself.
Next thing I see,
His eyes turn red, nose flaring..
He is no longer human!
So I run and hide in the next room
I should be safe here.. or so I think
In flys the door off its hinges
Not even the walls are spared
Now there nothing to hide behind.
I must stand and fight.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
It happens too quickly to feel
Hurt, pained or even humiliated...
And now I'm in a choke hold
With my feet hanging mid air
As I feel my life slipping away
Unloved and unprotected.
Maybe if I survive this ordeal
I should ask father for some advise
Oh wait, Daddy is a mythical creature!
A true magician; a master vanisher.
Not to worry...
Self rescue is the best rescue after all.
I feel my eyes rolling back.
The vice grip of my soft fragile neck
Overwhelming my system...
Warm trickles down my kicking legs
Engaging system shut down
Maybe in the next life... If any,
I'll chose wisely.
