Billy was an angry man
he hated his own life
but instead of making changes
he took it out on his children & his wife
his hands, his belt, a wooden spoon;
anything in reach would do
and after every vicious assault
he made sure they knew it was their fault

Grrrrr, oh, did I write that OUT LOUD? Perfectly said, as always, Melanie. Few words and it hits you fast and hard. THIS HAS TO END! Great poem.
LOL you never have to stifle growls here 😉
Reblogged this on Rethinking Life and commented:
Another raw and honest poem from Melanie.
Thank you so much!
This is more common than I like
Way too common…
One person like this is simply one too many.
…and unfortunately there are way more than one.
