Social Criticism

 She was strong 

And she knew what she wanted

She loved her family and friends 

She loved going on adventurers 

She worked hard and saved her money

He told her what to wear 

She didn’t feel good in her body

He told her what to eat 

She stopped eating 

He told her to give up 

She quit her job 

He told her not to listen to her friends

She was lonely 

He took her she couldn’t go anywhere

She stayed at home 

People told her he just “cared” about her 

They told her it was normal in a relations

Pays so much attention to her 

She was scared of him 

He told her all she needed was him

But he wasn’t there for her 

She was still strong

But she didn’t know she was being 

Abused.

hello my name is Keona and I live, in Indiana, I wrote this poem because every day there is a new story about domestic abuse. it is a teenager or someone in their thirties. it doesn't matter the gender or age no one devices to be abused in their own home.
