DESPERATION

Life is filled with doubt and desperation;
days when I feel I am drowning in tears,
with no desire to move on with my life,
clinging to hope and still facing my fears.

There was a time when I was a devoted wife,
dwelling in a dream world of my own making;
until my life with him became a constant duel
and it seemed that my heart was breaking.

Drenched in self-pity, unwilling to forgive him,
with the bruises still fresh on my face;
battered and worn, in silent desperation
I walk away from my life of disgrace.
