Chains Of Fear Poem by Daniel Bernard Kelleher

Chains Of Fear



Today I take my life back
Free from the chains of fear
No more Punch's no more slaps
Standing firm no turning back
Brain washed I was ugly
I believed it was my fault
Unable to fight my corner
Violence not my nature
Every day the same routine
Argue from early morning
Not wanting to control the anger
Preferring just to hurt me
Brought up to respect women
Treat them like a princess
So unprepared for this duress
Became a battered husband

Very good account of domestic violence directed towards a husband, 'violence not my nature'
