Silent Pain
Behind closed doors, a secret resides,
Where love once thrived, now pain presides,
A silent victim, afraid to speak,
Her heart shattered, her body weak.
Her tears fall like rain, but no one sees,
The bruises hidden beneath her sleeves,
Her smile forced, her laughter fake,
A life she leads, that's hard to take.
He says he loves her, but she's not sure,
His words once sweet, now feel like a lure,
A trap that ensnares her, day by day,
A love that hurts, in every way.
She dreams of escape, but it's not easy,
The fear of leaving, her heart uneasy,
She knows she deserves better, she's worth more,
But the chains of abuse, she can't ignore.
Domestic violence, a vicious cycle,
That's hard to break, without a miracle,
But hope exists, for those who seek,
A way to freedom, a life that's unique.
So let's speak out, and make some noise,
Against this evil, that steals our joys,
Let's help the victims, find a way,
To break the chains, and seize the day.

Your tender, impactful and poignant rhymes really affect me on a deeply personal and enormously emotional level. The idea of anyone trying to navigate their freedom from domestic violence and not being able to do so, makes me physically ill and full of anger that that isn't an easier fix to procure.
Highlighting this awful yet oh so true reality was pure bravery on your part and I applaud your wonderful work here. I hope with all my might that there are programs, outreach or simply one person ( which is sometimes all it takes) that are available in your area or for whomever might so desperately need help....
I hear you.

The masterful ability with which you have sculpted your magnificent stanzas bring an especially vivid kind of judicial punctuation to a truly troublesome topic. The final stanza in particular is a very persuasive call to action.
There's an irony to be seen here in that this tragic issue has had the effect of getting someone to fashion a poem that is a joy to read.
That is the proof of your advanced poetic craftsmanship, and I really hope you will continue! ,
