"Leave Me Alone" (Poem)

"Leave Me Alone"

By: Shannon Yáñez

Having someone control you so
Come home each night never letting you go
You lose your strength, your self-esteem
You're no longer who you seem
Feeling anger in his stare
Knowing your needs, you dare not share
But just tell him what he wants to hear
If he had a bad day, he'll make it clear
I don't deserve to live like this
Where can I get the love I miss?
There is a way, I have been told
To get control, get out of his hold
To live for me and not for him
I'm important too, though I see him grin
Help me someone, don't let him come home
Help me tell him to leave me alone.
