Marital Bondage
 
  Restriction, conviction of the heart

so it starts

Obsession, the lesson you learn

will burn

in your mind all the time

Control has got a hold on the mold

you try to break

The mistakes you make

leaves you trembling

You feel alone in your home

though your partner is there

despair when they're near

The verbal, physical and, emotional abuse

what's the use in hanging around?

Stand your ground

refrain, break the chain or remain the same

broken spirit, don't you get it?

The time has come

to take a stand and demand

the respect they wrecked

when they shattered your soul

And left a hole where your heart

used to be

Get back your pride and take in stride

the mistakes you made, you'll get paid

your self-respect, self-worth

And your dignity

MAXINE P. SOSO

As this poem describes with far too much punctuation! get rid of the commas in mid sentence, just how marriage should NOT be. Suffocation and hostage situations should be only in the news headlines, not marriage vows. Marriage to the right person is pure ecstacy imo. Loved it myself...Good advice you give here, just a little editing will make it a perfect....NEVER get married poem. Smiling at you, Tai, just testing...
