Dear author,

There were a couple other contenders in this contest, but this entry blew me away and I voted for you. This flows very well and your message is most powerful. The art you chose to go with this is perfect. Thank you for sharing this. A brave post. Really loved it. Good luck to you in the vote. Well done! Lynda

A sad tale indeed. The victim of a worthless, uncaring individual. One observation.

5th stanza, 3rd line: I think 'breathe' should be 'breath'

I hope you finally freed yourself from this individual's strangle hold. If you don't the last two lines of your piece may come true.

Oh yes indeed I think I've tasted every way one can suffer, some ofbthe worst things are infected by close friends or family, fortunately we have access to wisdom, if we allow hurts to get the better of us, it's a downward spiral, beautifully written, a strongly worded post, articulate and expressive, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

A well-written piece about domestic abuse and how it shreds one's self-esteem. I wish you gave more descriptive sensory details. You tell us about the slap and hair pulling, but if you used metaphors or similes to describe them, I feel the piece would be richer. But it is a good poem. Good luck in the contest.

Hello!

This happens more often than none and it is very sad. I myself have gone through a lot of similar situations. I was "trapped" for six whole years. I am proud of myself and forever grateful that I got out. Thank you for sharing!

One Love
Haylee

A touching poem, hard to read as I've also known someone in this situation and you go between sadness that she has to endure this and rage that he continues to degrade and physically abuse her. Good luck with this contest. In the last line, do you mean to say, "I'll be no more"?

Wow, yeah. This definitely fits the bill for the Sad Poems contest. It's very personal and I'm sure it will be relatable to many readers who have been in complicated relationships.

Thanks for sharing.
