SHE….
She suffers emotional, physical and psychological torture for many years yet she is expected to forget all in fleeting seconds because he said ‘sorry’. . .
More and more she suffers verbal and mental abuse. . .
She’s made to believe that it’s her responsibility to keep her home together even when it’s obvious that the man has other plans.
She buries herself in, contending with whatever excesses he dishes at her. She works tirelessly to make her home work, even when it’s so clear he is not interested, just so that she will not be labelled by the society as a woman who cannot keep her home.
She has to endure unnecessary mental breakdown, even if doing so snufs life out of her. She has to endure death, then face the society that is readily waiting to stigmatize and blame her for every wrong thing he has ever done.
She learns to endure all kinds of abuse and animosity, her mind constantly being violated as the verbal abuse evolves from emotional to psychological and actual physical.
She loses herself worth in endurance, gives up her dreams in the process and becomes a shadow of herself. Her sanity becomes challenged as she is compelled to helplessly and unwillingly give into abusive situations that consistently poison her self esteem and make her feel unimportant.
Her queries resonate within her thoughts, so strange that no one can ever truly catch the truth of her stay no matter the times…
She stands tall in her weakness, only so she can demostrate her uncommon strength in the physical, while she remains broken on the inside. . . She is a woman and this is the story of many women.
