Am I too young to file for divorce?

for now i can only dream

By Kiesha’s DiaryPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

if i could…

then i would…

divorce my body forever

it has come to the stage where we can no longer live together

she told me that she would turn things around

but still she is constantly putting me down

as a couple, we are far from strong

in this body, i do not belong

prolonging the inevitable, i am drowning

we have tried everything including couples counselling

but this marriage was forced

which is why i am now begging to be divorced

for twenty two years i have tried my best to adapt

but in this relationship i am forever trapped

it went from a home to a prison

i cannot any longer live in this condition

so i have made my final decision

again… “please leave” but she refuses to listen

sad poetry
