A broken home is not rare,
Heartache's abundant we all share,
The pain and anger the family feels,
Sometimes never ever heels,
But is it right to stay together,
And struggle through violent weather,
Though the violence maybe verbally used,
Was the victim not still abused,
The violence may start with a single thought,
Then it becomes verbally brought,
When does it become O.K.?
For any man to act this way,
Beat her down with angry word,
His wife till she cannot be heard,
Till one day she had had enough,
Left that man and all her stuff,
Determined she is to be set free,
Free from the anger and tyranny,
Scared of what will happen when she goes,
But that is something no one knows,
She must do this she must try,
For if she doesn't her soul will die.
