Domestic Violence poems?
It will be exactly 3 years tomorrow since my violent alcoholic ex was charged with my (and our kids) attempted murder. I have been on several courses, and am now in a position to counsel others. I've also recently done an interview with a national paper on the subject. But what I've found really helps is written verse on the subject.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

By "Sophie":
Feelings
I felt weak and subdued, alone and confused
What did you expect it was me you abused
I was angry but helpless, ashamed and depressed
I was dirty and naive I felt powerless
No-one could help me because no-one knew
That was the biggest mistake of all and so my rage grew
But if someone did know, what could they have done
Made my life more stressful? or made my life more fun?
The damage caused, the sorrow made,
As it became more intense I saw my confidence fade
All the lies and torture I felt so betrayed
I was breaking down, my heart had been mislaid
But now I'm stronger, confident and all
I'm a brave free winner and I shall stand tall!
