He blocked my sunny days
"I stopped blooming"
Marriage life to me
Like lemon, it is sour.
Is this how it should be?
In his presence, I live a lie.
I am afraid of him.
He is a narcissist
He is intoxicated.
Sometimes I get angry.
Thinking of how to fight back.
Yet I'm afraid to be killed.
I miss my life before meeting him.
Life before marriage
I was a young, vibrant lady.
He took that away.
I can't recognize myself anymore.
I can't tell if I'm happy or not.
Every day, my fear increases.
Like I'm in a demon-infested chamber.
He looms over me like a dark cloud.
He blocked my sunny days.
Like a flower, I stopped blooming.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
