Break Free by Lolly Vieira

A poem I wrote about my abusive relationship with my son's father. If you're struggling out there, please know you're not alone and know that I'm not judging you for going back. I only pray you find the strength to leave so that this doesn't become the last chapter in your life's novel.

I bag up the store-bought lies

hold them dear and close to me

though when truth is realized

I still can't seem to break free

I am strangled by your hold

I try so hard to break the mold

bombarded with uncertainty

everything begins to crumble

I try to grasp reality

but it slips as I stumble

the light leaves my eyes

and you laugh when I hide

misdirected anger hits

like a bowling ball falling to the floor

words like a venomous spit

but I kept coming back for more

until I saw there’d be no end

you’d fill me with poison, then aim for our kid

Welcome to my writing page where I make sense of all the facets of myself.

I'm an artist of many mediums and strive to know and do better every day.
