I saw stars
Bright Light
Explosion
Flashback
July Fourth
Freedom?
Fighting
Fifty-four years
Flash!
Slapped
Bang!
Head knocked
Counter blow
How far will he go?
I never know
Then I wake
Curled in a ball
Sweating
One day
I’ll be free
Red, white & blue
Pretty fireworks
Purple & blue
Flesh healed
Psyche bruised
But healing
Writing my way to
Freedom
Living in the safest home I ever had with my husband. 2012 I began to heal. I had to get sober first and I am still a work in progress. Even my bad days now are better than my good days then.
