Fear.
Fear
Fear.
Only four letters long
But can stay with you your whole life
Like a leech slowly draining you from existence
Him.
He is what I fear
He is the leech stuck to my arm that I can’t shake off
Telling me I am
Worthless.
Beating me down till I am nothing.
He is taking my life away day by day.
When I am alone
I think of all the ways I could
Escape.
Through windows
Through the door
Drug him
Kill him.
I want to be free
Away from his clutches that keep me in place
Like I am stuck in quicksand feeling myself slowly falling
But
Fear
Creeps back inside me filling the empty crevices of my soul
Is freedom worth it?
Is escaping worth what might happen if I fail?
Staying can be my death
Leaving could be my death
What should I chose
Fear.

I like very personal and thought provoking work so I decided to write about domestic abuse and someone fighting with herself whether she should risk leaving him or just stay with him.
