As an Author we still read and write
This is supporting all of our art
No one should be viewed bigger than another
Just embrace the variety of words
Displayed on each page
Shared from imagination
Shared from circumstances
Shared from life once lived
And if its any good
Shared with all of you
This is all a work in progress
Authors Coming together with Readers
Sharing the joy of words!!

You look at me with
Love in your eyes
Heart filled
With Venom
Because the scene
That just played
Out
I came at you like
A crazy lady
Because you just
Punch Me
Not even saying you
Are sorry
Fist flying all around
Heads bobbing and
Weaving
Dropping down to the
Ground
Getting up real quick
With a big ole stick
Swinging frantically
Protecting myself
From the onset of
Blows that you
Throw
What's Love Got To Do
With It
As the saying goes
Love don't suppose
To hurt
Leave you all
Bruised
Using all kinds of
Excuses
I did not mean to
Do it
You made me hit
You
But Honey you know
I love You!
As I look at you
With a swollen
Lip
A big black eye
Wondering
Why!
Am I Here
Why choose to
Stay
When I should get
Away
Promises that you
Would never do it
Again
But you really are
Not the better
Man
Gathering up all
My things
Racing for a
Safe place
Starting new as
You look thru
Posturing like
You help
Me
Reality I did
What I needed to
do
Went were I needed
To be
Picked up all the
Pieces
Straighten out all
With Ease
Traveling around
Town
Telling my story
Helping Others
From around all
Corners of the
World
I am Stronger!
I am Older!
I am Wiser
Than before
Vowing to never let
Another man
Get me so
Low
Were does this
Type of
Abuse happens
Again
Listen! Listen!
Listen UP!
Abuse - Love = No
Good coming from
It
Know you are worth
So much more
Survivor of Abuse
Controller of my own
Pockets
Believer in myself
To be an Island
A force
To be reckoned
With
So in the end
Just recognize
This
