      How was i meant to know
      When i got married and had to go
      That i’d still b crying all the time
      Apparently loving me for me is a crime
      Thought id found family to call my own
      But loving me is like taking blood out of a stone
      Im always oppressed and feeling insecure
      How much more will i have to endure
      People just like throwing me around
      Stabbing me in the back when im already down
      Why does love seem to come easy for all the rest
      When im made to feel worthless even when i try my best
      How much more am i going to have to take
      Until people will leave me alone and give me a break
      Why am i made to feel like im nothing
      When all i want is to feel like im worth something
      Sometimes i just want to curl up n die
      Because im just ignored when i scream and cry
      Sometimes i feel like I wouldn’t even be missed
      Even though im alive i dont feel like I exist
      Why does living have to be so hard
      The more im here the more im scarred
      I just want to live content and in peace
      But the more i try, the more the chances decrease
      I hate this world and everyone in it
      Because its killing me slowly, bit by bit

      Just a question………do abusers EVER change, for anyone?

      I haven’t heard of one in all the years I’ve been on here. Read the book by Lundy Bancroft. ‘Why Does he do that’. The abusers behaviour gets him what he wants so why should he change. He will just move his behaviour to another victim x

      What a beautifully written post, a poem really. I think we can all relate to it, at one point or another we all have gone through this dark place and felt exactly like you described it.

      Abusers change tactics, victims, but one thing stays constant; their need to exploit, control and have power over others.
      No they never change for anyone, if they change it’s for themselves, to be able to exploit others even better. It’s all about them.

      Helovesmehesays, I want to send you some strengths and a comforting big warm hug to you, take good care of yourself, just a nice warm cup of tea if you can and a warm shower.

      What a beautiful poem which is relevant to so many of us. The words are full of the pain and misery that is our lives.

      Thanks for this WT; it makes me smile, let me explain, when I read this I know you have had to focus your mind while doing it, shows me you can focus your mind on anything when you choose to do so, it also shows me you are giving yourself what you need by engaging with your pain – you are processing and trying to make sense of things – this will take you a few more steps closer to being out on the otherside. It shows us all how so very important it is to express how we feel, even when alone we can do this by writing a letter or poem like yours.

      You’ll get there flower, just remember one thing tho, it was never about anything you did, he would have done it all the same, with you, someone else, and the next. You’re lovely just the way you are. Do only what feels right for you now – always x
