    Battered Wife

    My back is up against the wall,
    I walk on ice afraid I'll fall...
    I cannot laugh,
    I cannot cry,
    I think this time,
    I'm going to die....

    A battered wife,
    has no life...

    A brainwashed clone,
    to kneel at his throne...
    to do what has to be done,..

    To save her face,
    to save disgrace,
    and to see the morning sun...

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
