Violence !
I know I've said this
before !
It was visited upon me long before
I threw my sister to the floor !
And I repeat this -
please realize -
to illustrate and emphasize
the CYCLE -
generationally in motion
long before I became a
Battered Wife !
What is " NORMAL "
( customarily taking place within a family )
is typically a dynamic unquestionable
until we grow up get out of the house and
see it through different eyes -
and Oh though we may know somehow
all along that "it's all WRONG!" -
it will be a long time for some of it to change if ever
and for some it will take much courage and many
dark nights !
A normal day from infancy -
included for me
a lot of screaming and yelling and laying on of hands and
fists and feet -
dishes flying furniture broken hearts all bloody in the mix -
parent leaving one left crying children all dazed
and confused and praying to God it won't happen again !
But you know it will
and although you say someday it won't be this way -
you wake up later in life in your own living room with a
bruise and blood pouring from your nose
and your children are dazed and
confused -
and one day their children will be too
unless you stop it make it stop please god make it stop and then
you know it's up to
you
but what about the rest you will be tested maybe arrested
with family functioning as always they call you back to way it's always
been and you know it can never be the same again
and then you
choose . . .
