Someone To Love Me

This is a poem I put together after reading the back and the first chapter of the novel called ``Someone to Love Me`` By Anne Schraff. Young women today would do anything to be or to feel loved. Even if it`s all lies to keep the one that they love with them. They don`t understand what they deserve because of the relationships they`ve been involved in. No-one is showing them right from wrong or explaining to them what`s really happening. They start to isolate themselves from others and stop caring about what matters. I know from previous relationships and from what I`ve seen and heard from others: us women are stronger then we think and we need to stick together.   Well, here`s my poem called Someone To Love Me.

Someone To Love Me

She looks in the mirror
At her reflection
Blinded
Not Noticing the Black eye
She showers
Scared to press too hard
Bruises all over
In pain and in shame
Head low
Mascara dripping
Eyeliner running
The sight of Blood appearing through her clothes
The yelling from her mother
But replying with lies
Silent cries
Of the force of his hands
The vulgar voice
Of the sharp words
Cutting through her heart
Piercing through her soul
But she remains the same
Annoyed and ashamed
Taking the hits
Over and over again
The screams that noone hears but noticing to see
The fool she is and is what she chooses to be
Just Looking for someone to love me
