The first cry of new life, so precious innocent & true,…. remembering the moments that i first gazed upon all of you.
Visions of perfection as you lay in my arms,… life fulfilled my heart alive, a vow to protect you all from harm.
Each new milestone i watched in wonder & pride, a new light burned from within & shone in the mirror of my eyes.
My three beautiful children, my reasons for being, nothing so pure a mother’s love for her children, nurturing & giving.
Time passed so quickly, …… as it always does, i protected you all with my life,….. never even in my nightmares did i ever see you looking down the blade of a knife.
You witnessed the hell, the yelling & the shattering of glass, i watched helplessly,…… cowering, knowing you all had no choice but to hide until the terror passed.
One fateful evening the end finally came,… our lives lay in tatters,…. nothing would ever be the same, a sneer, a fist & a threat of impending death.
I was forced to leave you all with our very own private demon,…. i ran to our family a place of sanctuary & those whom i believed i could rely upon.
The days were dark, my despair grew,…… i was lost, my tears burned as they fell.
Fate soon intervened, the sun appeared & we were together again once more,….. a new era began , tears abaited our hearts soared.
Life took another cruel turn,…… the law in it’s blindness allowed the devil visitation rights, you were all forced to visit that dark place engulfed in fear.
My insides in turmoil until i could once again hold you all near.
I saw all the signs,…. ‘ YET ‘ i could not allow myself to believe,…… instead i lived in silence, my soul destroyed as i slowly grieved.
Four years passed, my nightmares soon repeated themselves, out of intimidation & fear the demon drew strength,….. he played silently with your mental health.
Your innocent voices so cruelly silenced,….. nightmares of the past echoed as you became victims of violence.
The evidence was there, it cried out to be seen, yet my heart & my eyes were not ready to see,….. the bruises, the hands that now struck all of you had once been me.
The anger within twisted like a knife, the cold reality that i had once been the devil’s wife.
Instinct took over, my mind now clear & definitely made up, the devil had to be stopped once & for all.
Our new lives all but shattered, the mighty was about to finally fall.
The devil cloaked himself in disguise, his treachery & lies knew no bounds,….. the law he totally fooled.
My hatred burned, remembering the home,….. ‘ OUR-CELL ‘ that he had so cleverly ruled.
Our patience all but gone, we fought hard & somehow won through, a whole new life, a new home, the devil we left far behind.
The demon now has become just a terrible memory, though some scars will ‘NEVER ‘ heal, our lives slowly moved on,…. mother, daughters, son sisters & brother.
Now as i look back, my anger still raw, the devil is cunning & he did fool the law,…… the truth now waits to be heard,…… the almighty above will have the final word.
Our love, faith & hope will beat the devil ‘ ONE WAY OR ANOTHER ‘.
