Description
Mirror, Mirror on the wall...
...who's the most beautiful of them all?
It is not you, I can say this for a fact...
...I know what really happened, and why you got attacked.
How many times, will you sit and make excuses...
..."He REALLY DOES love me and wont leave me with bruises"
You lie to yourself, as well as to others...
...you cover the wounds up or hide behind shutters.
How can you not see, when he hits you with closed fists...
...a man that loves a woman would never break his wife's wrist.
With each lie you tell, you dig you hole deeper...
...wishing he would rot in hell, drug by the grim reaper.
Wishing wont work, you know that for a fact...
... your only salvation is to open your mouth and act.
What are you waiting for? Your abuser you need to get rid...
...if you sit around waiting for help, the abuse will travel to your kid.
With that in mind, the girl looked at the mirror with a glare...
...I cannot let that happen to my children, this life I have brought them into is not fair.
The woman says to the mirror, How did you become so smart?..
...the mirror smiles and says to her, I just talked straight to your heart.
The woman realized what was said, and away went her fear...
...it wasn't the mirror's wisdom that saved her, its just what she needed to hear.

I applaud you hugely. This behaviour towards a so-called loved one is never anything less than abhorrent, and angers me with every case I hear about. Such a striking haunting image, but as Meli says, your words surpass it even. Brilliant :-)

Thats right, no one has the right to abuse an innocent one. The work its self is gorgeous.
