No Longer Will They Choose To Be Abused Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Rescued from sleaze and teasing.
Once bottled up in guilt and shame...
And clamped to pain,
As a goal one chose to pursue and aim.

Fused to booze like a loser,
With no hope or faith to gain.
Remaining desperately afraid...
And a named glued to making mistakes.
Refusing to take any blame,
Or claim to feel a struggle with heartbreak.

Untied...
And let loose,
From excuses.
Overnight...
Many had been bitten,
By insight!

A light shown on their lives!
To beam ever bright!
And a cloak from their emotions...
Took a hike from inside!

Untied...
And let loose,
From excuses.
Overnight...
Many had been bitten,
By insight!

A light shown on their lives!
To beam ever bright!
And a cloak from their emotions...
Took a hike from inside!

And no longer will they choose to be abused,
Or pay a price for a ride...
They don't like!
