She tried to tell herself it was of no use
Cowering in fear and hiding the shame
Of all the time she bore his abuse
Of fists and bruises that brought no gain
She tried to fight to no avail
Her body bearing proofs of his reproof, eyes blackened from his contuse
His fists leaving trails of wails and quails, slaps raining as hails
At night she weeps with such profuse, accepting blames for his misuse
O' but if today will stay the same
A day devoid of clouts and pain
She vows to never be so tame
To soar with battered wings and sail
To a place of peace and hope without fail
