It...Thank you so such a wonderful comment, Gina! It's amazing that one poem could have such an impact. And I would love for this poem to have an impact on domestic violence, to make more people aware off the seriousness of it, and to maybe even help someone experiencing it. <br /><br />Sadly, one of the things victims do is make excuses for their spouse. Sometimes it's because they think their situation is normal, they are still in love with the abuser, or (and probably the case most of the time) they are afraid.<br /><br />Maybe I'll do a real post to bring awareness to domestic violence when the sequel to Hurricane Crimes comes out, because I go more in-depth on Beth's job as a self defense instructor in that story. Wait...now I actually have 2 ideas for 2 posts!Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-55989021251910193402014-05-18T18:38:14.865-04:002014-05-18T18:38:14.865-04:00I'm glad you are helping to raise awareness th...I'm glad you are helping to raise awareness through the use of your beautiful poems. Domestic violence is something I will never tolerate but I know there are others in this world who just aren't strong enough. They need voices like yours to help guide them and make them feel more confident and truly LOVE themselves. I've seen one person suffer through this and sadly, she still is. But when I try to intervene, she gets very defensive and excuses his behavior. It's so sad because she is stunning and could do so much better. I just wish there was a way to make her see this. Thank you so much for touching on such an important issue.

I knew I had to put both sides in the poem to make an impact. Domestic violence awareness is a cause I really believe in.

I loved how you compared both "he" and "she" in this piece. You really helped me feel deeply for the woman here and resent the man. I hope one day, whoever "she" really is... she decides to leave him for good... as most of the women suffering from domestic violence should.<br />Your language is quite descriptive and beautifully written.
