Was lost in thought today about sexual violence, I imagined a scenario where a lady was being violated, but decided to fight for herself instead of shying away. This has been put down in a poem/story like manner. hope you enjoy it.Hello all, @pasaift here.

He hit me
He hit me once
He hit me twice
Then it became a Habit

He'd Use my head as a hammer
He'd use my body as a punching bag
He hit me so bad, I lost them
My children, my light in darkness

I was his slave
I was his cook
I was his whore
I was his stress relief bag

I lost my beauty
Lost my dignity,my pride
My esteem was lost as well
My friends couldn't recognise me

I was tired
But I knew leaving wasn't an option
Yet, I wanted total freedom
And I had one choice only

I planned carefully
I waited patiently
Until he lost his job
And I found an opening

I shot him
Straight in the head
And put the gun in his hand
It was a perfect suicide

I cried like a widow
Yet laughed like a newly we'd
No one suspected me
I was the loving unfortunate wife

But he was never dead
He never was
But he was in a vegetative state
That worked for me

And like a lunatic
I took good care of him
Laughed at him in camera
But took care of him

I was in love with my vegetative husband
I was the loving wife
Wife of the year
One people looked up to

And when one day he finally spoke
"You shot me"
He breathed his last, and I was crowned the poor loving wife
One of the 50 most influential widows

I think he wished he hadn't spoken
Wished he never hit me
Wished he never met me
But the dead have no wishes, or do they?

N/B: Vegetative = paralysed
Men please stop female violence. It doesn't pay to hit a woman.
Thanks for Reading,Remain Blessed

I dint waste my time at all.. This is real cool. "influential widow"😂

Lolz. Glad you loved it

found you in telegram group . upvoted and followed you. kindly follow me back

Ahh such a sad tale. I was abused for 20 years. I chose to leave I would much rather my success story than being saddled with a vegetable husband. That is a very unfortunate thing that there is violence at all! Good message against violence.

Oh my! It's really a sad thing to hear. Glad you were able to survive

lovely poem...the lines were all on point.

Thanks a lot.

Poet poet! I salute you bro. Keep sending the message

Yeah man...

Nice one against violence

Yeah. We should all take a stand against violence

It's really a nice poem, it exposes what goes on in the mind of a depressed woman and reveals the sole desire to be free from the hands of a furious woman-beating man.
I love it :)

Thanks man. Glad yu understood the message
