-Herself-

The eyes of this beautiful woman are green, with little flecks of gold and they shine like diamonds in the sky...
She is responsible, caring and trustworthy.
Loving, devoted and honest.
 

All it took was one hit to change things...


Now the eyes of this terrified woman are green, with tears swelling inside and they shine like a  plane crashing down from the sky...
She is now scared, timid and hurt.
Loving, devoted and quiet.


All it took was yet another round of beatings...


Now the eyes of this battered woman are green, with blood dripping down into them, distorting her veiw of the shining star in the sky...
She is now giving up, hopeless and disgusted with herself.
Loving, devoted and needing to find her backbone.


All it took was one more dirty look for her to find it and snap... 


She wiped the blood drops from her eyes, walked up to him, tears streaming down her face and kicked him in the groin with all her beautiful might.

As he fell to the ground screaming in pain she smiled and knew inside that it was a childish revenge, but an oh so sweet one at that.

The eyes of this strong woman are green, with little flecks of gold and they shine like diamonds in the sky...
She is now courageous, determined and seeing clearer than ever.
Loving and devoted, but now to herself.

Beautifully written! Your empowerment is the epitome of what surviving is truly about. I am very much moved in ways that express the totality of your battle with the demon that held you captive until you gained the courage to break free. NOW ur green eyes reflect happiness,and i pray that you continue to bless us with your beautiful soul..... peace and blessings!

this made me cry and then laugh at the end. way to stick it to a man who doesn't respect women. bastard.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
