Heart touching poem, a keen write, excellent and brilliant. Congrats being chosen as the Modern Poem Of The Day
There are a lot of things in life that we have to grin and bear it or do something about it..

Deeply poignant! A heartrending story told with eloquent finesse...
A vivid depiction of domestic violence and sufferings of a mother. Deeply poignant and gripping write.
