Pregnant with pain is this compelling and creative cry against intimate violence. Well done!
If I say that I am deeply touched by this poem, I would say much less than what I have felt after reading it. I am quite disturbed by the account you have given of your miseries, hopelessness and helplessness due to the abuse you have suffered 'in the name of love'. I agree with poet Fabrizio Frosini that those who abuse women and children are not worthy to be called humans. The poem is eloquent, expressive and deep. Well done!
I am against violence, but those who abuse women and children cannot be considered ''persons''.. and should learn upon themselves what ''abuse'' means.. Thanks for sharing, Maria Blessings
Thank you so much for your review and for understanding my story, Fabrizio
I enjoyed this poem very much. In fact of your poems I've read I've enjoyed them all. It's clear to see you write from the heart. Keep up the good writing. Ray
