Trapped Poem by kesi miwa

My ex is of a
nature were
he only wants the
sex

He has something
that belongs
to me
and will only give
it back if I give him
his way

Although I say no
he tells me I
will agree
one way or another

Because of how he is
I know I will
never be
free

I know this because
he is controlling
he tells me I have
no other choice

I feel I am
in danger
for he has killed
before

He would kill my
family and
everyone I love

I have no choice
but to stay
the pain will grow
and the depression
deepen

He has forced me
before he will
do it again

I have no other
choice
