Why Hide? (Poem)

Why hide the tears? Why hide the pain?
Why believe “It won’t happen again”?
Anger and hatred built up inside.
Why choose to stay and hide?

It damages your soul with such a might,
That you slowly begin to give up the fight.
A former shadow, of who you were before,
If only I had walked out of that door.

The one last chance I kept on giving,
I no longer wanted to keep living.
I could never forgive nor will I ever forget
But my life will not be filled with regret

I was taught well, during our time together,
To fear him, that lesson will stay forever.
But fear turns to anger. Anger turns to hate
Will I ever to leave, or is it too late?

Each new day brings another new rule,
There were never this many rules at school.
I am not to do this. I dare not do that,
I am only size eight, but of course I am fat.

Psychological damage to a mind that works,
Can damage it so ,that the mind starts to break.
Nothing seems real. What was your name?
How can this man think this is a game?

You go insane. Time stands still,
This is what can drive a woman to kill.
You know the reasons you feel this inside,
How many rivers of tears have you cried?

Praying you no longer had to be here,
Nothing holds anything close or dear
Breathing you don’t want to do anymore
That’s when I wish I had walked out that door.
