She has hidden her scars from me
Until I asked her why she hasn’t gone for her Pilates session
A fitness enthusiast that she is
No one can stop her from her regime
I have always adored her for her skills
A highly educated woman
With her head firm on her shoulders
That day she tried to avoid me for hours
Then reluctantly she showed me how badly she was hurt
I was aghast to see her bruises
Those blood-red scars that looked brutal
I asked her the cause and she replied after a long pause
These were the results of the domestic abuse
She has now got used to
Unfortunately, it never occurred to me, a woman of her stature
Can silently face this too
She was pushed and battered in front of her children
More than the physical torture
Her soul got perennially wounded
Seeing her four-year-old wipe her tears through
She has always told me though
That she has had a meaningless marriage
The only strand that held it together
Were her precious little boy and her girl
I fail to fathom what every day she underwent
Living right under the nose of a moody paranoid
What deep lasting impact will these fights
Cause on the impressionable little children
It broke my heart to see her vulnerable side
And I had a sleepless night
My eyes were red with fury while she wept quietly
I was unable to bear my friend’s agony
I screamed at her to walk out of such a scornful marriage
As she is doing very well financially
Came the answer I am hearing for the nth time
I want to continue for the two little loves of my life
She doesn’t want to deprive them of their father’s love
The same crap I have been listening for years
I have come across so many wonderful women with battered souls
Staying under the same roof for this reason
My love why don’t you realize, I wish to advice
This is the fact of which you are taken advantage of
Get up please take charge of your own life
Don’t let an inhuman beast batter tatter your soul
You become the weaker sex because you are made to believe so
Give them back as hard as you can, the first time they hit you
Anyways your marriage got over when you were first slapped
Because the foundation of a strong marriage, mutual respect, that day died
Please take charge of our life
Please don’t bear it for your little ones
Otherwise, they too will learn the wrong things
For them trust me, you have to move in the right direction
Summon up all your courage my love
You have the power to weave your nest the way you want
You have the power, believe in yourself
Get up and give him back what he deserves
He needs to understand his folly
He needs to be punished for his inhuman acts
He needs to be denied apology forever
And you need to ride from the ashes like a Phoenix
He hurt you because you allowed him to
He forayed into your brain and played havoc because you allowed him to
He needs to know he has rampaged your heart
For which no punishment is good enough
Always remember one thing, my love,
You are abused only when you allow them to
Deny them that upper hand
You alone can give them the most befitting punishment
Deprive them of their family forever
Weave for yourself and your children a peaceful world
Until they learn a befitting lesson, they won’t mend their ways
And if they can’t, they better stay away!
