This sonunds like an abusive relationship. But it looks like she left and is now homeless. It is good you can forgive him.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Yup, they used her for her kindness, but then she left them and got her own place. Much better! Thanks, Joan.

No problem, Aiona.

Another fine poem, Aiona--not familiar with the circumstances, but the gist of your words is something we all could apply to people preaching uninvited about things we've done wrong in their eyes or how we should live our lives.

Thanks for the review, Mike. I'm probably going to disable this poem, just warning you. I wrote it out of anger, and now that is past.

Been there, done that

The presentation here reeks of arrogance. That is a patronizing kind of racism. It's knowing better than you because I am so much more intelligent. The world is full of all the various evil-minded types. Don't let them trespass on your mind.

Thanks, Ralf. I do need to put it from my mind. These people are in the minority.
