BEFORE THE FALL
I remember that he used to beat on you
I was only a kid; what the hell could I do?
The onus was on you to end that bullshit
Instead, it was on me that you chose to hit
I remember it as if it happened yesterday
Guess traumatic thoughts never go away
They stay tethered & festster until they're hard
Causing physical, mental and emotional scars
But hey, at least they erect poetic bars to write
There's always a bright side after all, right?
Life's fights and struggles are never-ending
Acting alright, in other's sights, is just pretending
Deceiving to the naked eye to what lies inside
As we keep on grooving and living life in stride
Masculine pride won't allow me to show it all
Yet, it's said that there's pride before the fall

Great poem!
Really enjoyed...
A woman has to make 1 decision, and if she makes that decision well, it puts her in a good position for the rest of her life, and if she makes that decision poorly, it will leave a painful legacy.
I enjoyed the metaphysics of trauma, scarring, and poetry in stanzas 2 & 3...
Pride is one of the deadly sins...
There's a time to lower one's ego, to be humble, to chose to care, rather than confront...

Damn this was a powerful and personal verse. It's so difficult to talk about and discuss the emotional damage this does to anyone.
Thank you sharing.
