'' You've Got To Fight Back '' Poem by Bri Mar

It's a burden I've carried,
I'm still paying the price,
When I got married,
She was ever so nice.

A love we shared,
Was what I thought,
She never cared,
Now I'm left distraught.

Three kids later,
She was acting strange,
Becoming a me hater,
Was beginning to derange.

I worked and toiled,
They never went without,
Now my name's been soiled,
Even I'm showing doubt.

She had an affair,
Then blamed it on me,
Family and friends didn't care,
They refused to see.

Counselling I refused,
I knew the truth,
I was being abused,
She was being uncouth.

The house was sold,
I was left on my own,
The lies she told,
Left my kids thrown.

The fact they've gone,
Still brings me to tears
I'm still put upon,
After twelve long years.

Despite the pain,
I restarted anew,
From revenge refrain,
It will cause you ado.

Though I've been through Hell,
Under constant attack,
If you want to do well,
