Take a Stand
You love them no matter how much it hurts
One second they’re sweet
The next they curse
Just a twinge of their hand
You know what comes next
You act like it’s just another mark that fades
You are so ashamed
You think it’s you
But you know it’s them
You still see the kindness from when you met
They’re sorry so it’s okay
Right?
Wrong
This is torture and you know it
You’re not alone
There’s help for everyone
The fact is 25% are abused in relationships
It is enough of this hurt
It is enough of this sorrow
It is enough of disrespect
You’re fed up with it all
Your respect for yourself matters most
You’re wonderful and deserve the best
Trust your gut and pack your bags
Now do what’s best and get the hell out
