As I struggle to sleep, too scared to breathe
The arms of a stranger wrapped tightly round me
Like a noose of my making
My heart always breaking
Body constantly aching
Toll on life it is taking
The tears turn into puddles
My emotions are muddled
The abuse isn't subtle
He lives to see me struggle
Underneath of his weight
Channeling all of his hate
He tries to seal my fate
Moves a knight, checkmate.

- Comment from author about the poem: For me, this poem is a story about part of my life I don't tell anyone. I have been through things unimaginable and it has always been a goal of mine to get that experience down in words and I have finally done it. I wanted to share this as my first poem because it means the world to me, and I hope that whoever reads this, it speaks to you like it speaks to me. I don't think it is quite finished yet, but I like the start. Tell me what you think and whether or not you believe I should keep it going. Kisses!

WELCOME LEASHA ~ Thanks for your first poem and your additional notes which are helpful. I was 18 a few years ago and your poem about coming to terms with Growing up & Life & Love ~ rang bells ! There are many gender differences in being a Teen (ME YANG ~ YOU YIN) but also similarities ! We all have muddled emotions ~ and too some extent we all suffer abuse ~ mental & physical. However acts Physical abuse of Male on Female are much more common than Male on Male and Female on Male very seldom and something I have never experienced. However Mental abuse (due to mobile phones & facebook etc is increasing for both genders and all ages. The physical experience you describe is very severe and can have a lasting effect. Sharing is cathartic and we can share your pain with you ~ to the extent that you are willing to share with us ~ OK ~ Thinking of you this is a very empathetic site ~ Thinking of you ~ Kisses ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
