Beaten Poem by Briana Davis

You Are The Reason For The Tears She Never Cried
For The Many Ways She Died Inside
Begging You To Love Her More Than
Just With An Inch Of Your Loves Ruler

You Are The reason That Her Heart Is Cold
Frozen From The Lies She's Told
Starting With,
'I'm Okay'
To,
'He Loves Me'
& Ending With,
'He Promised Not To Hit Me Anymore'

You Are The Reason Family Never Calls
Her Voice Never Heard
She Keeps The Pain Inside
Resisting The Urge To Cry
But No One Knows Why You Do It
See Your Daddy Hit Your Mother Too

You Saw The Tears She Cried
Balled Up Fists You Tried To Protect Her & Failed
Cause Eventually
You Knew She Was Weak
Just Like All Women

Mentallity Of The Woman
Who Got Beat By Her 'Man'
& The Life He Leads
They Walk Into Oblivion Together
Both Blinded By What They Thought The Other Was
& Hurt By The Disappointment
