I Only Wish To Comfort You with this poem of mine. Will you have it? Here goes:
Never Lose Hope
It's not your fault,
Don't hide your face.
This home once was a very happy place.
Where children laughed, and played, and grew.
Yet now the laughs are very few.
He's angry now,
When he comes home.
He wants a drink,
And to be left alone,
To hear no noise, to eat no meal.
This house has lost it's family feel.
I can hide my scars under shades and such.
But I won't let the kids cringe at his touch.
They deserve their peace, and a world of joy.
Why should they stress and be annoyed?
Mommy's hurt and Daddy's mean!
He wants a drink or nicotine.
I just want peace.
I just want sleep.
I just want the the arguing to cease.
No more police and no more lies.
No more excuses and alibis.
Everyday gets harder to cope!
Then I remember her last words......
Mommy said, "Never Lose Hope."

Yes, Candace A. I wrote it about an hour ago, after reading a question about domestic violence. Something I am adamantly against.

This poem is rather biased.
Men are the victims of violence, too. And sometimes the person having violence delivered upon them are the original aggressors, so saying that it's not their fault isn't always true.
Additional: My mother used to beat the crap out of me and my siblings nearly every other day simply because she didn't like her lot in life. Where's my poem for that? Don't tell me you're not prejudice.
Isn't it wonderful how you perpetuate a stereotype.

you definitely have talent in writing, you should get involved with the field, not to mention these words will definitely reach at least one woman out there going through such pain and she'll find the strength and courage to do what she has to to better her life. great job!!! :-)

Damn, Dawg, is your real name Smoove B? I heard of you, damn you're smoooooth, like Barry White and Teddy Pendergrass, with a dash of Luther Vandross all rolled in to one. Preach on, Bruh! Are you Kirk Franklin? I've been looking for you!!!!

Excellent. Heart felt for sure. You brought tears to my eyes. I didn't realise how abusive my drinking can get. I will seek help. Thank you.
