Favorite Quote:
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." ~Will Smith


I hear him hit her;
I hear her scream.

I turn my music up louder;
‘cause, I can’t do a thing.

I hate to listen;
I hate to see.

My lungs will fill with anger
If it happens in front of me.

I can’t stand the sound,
I can’t stand your voice.

She doesn’t want you;
just give her a choice.

I was inspired to write this poem a few years back due to an abusive past.
