Standing Against Abuse Poem by Susan Wall

Standing Against Abuse



The sad truth is that when you write about abuse
there are those who will accuse us of being trash.
Does not matter male or female there are those
that love to bash the victims.
They act as we have no feelings or rights
in years past ladies were killed because of violence.
Now it’s time we stand up for our rights
and refuse to take the blame.
The pain we have felt from the beatings
that was given by the hands of the attacker.
Why should we allow ourselves be ashamed
to speak out for our story to be heard?
This world needs to learn
ladies were not meant to be
a man’s punching bag.
Don’t drag our good name in the dirt
we did not go looking for a jerk.
