God Give Me Strength..

God give me strength
to fight the powers that be
God give me strength
to stop the attacks on me,

I never asked for the beatings
or the kicks to the stomach I received
I only wanted to please him
I didn't try to deceive

It really wasn't my fault
I only tried to be good
I don't remember picking the knife up
I hoped he understood,

Now I am in prison
for trying to protect my own
And my loving violent husband
wont find a punch bag at home,

Annie,

Please forgive me, but the saying "Desperate times call for desperate measures." keeps running through my mind.

I am sorry to learn that you had an abusive husband. Thankfully it is all behind you and you no longer have to live your life in fear.

Its sad that so many women have to suffer this way and some do end up in jail from just protecting themself

Heart-wrenching to think that anyone would  have gone through this or anything like this, but, then, again, very effective writing and, yes, I'm sooooo, sooooo very, very happy to have had the opportunity to see your face on the picture here, today, with your big, big, bright, smile. Anyway, that's how I choose to see you—as Overcomer.

God bless,

-Bob
