Description
"I Got Flowers Today"
I got flowers today.
It wasn't my birthday or any other
special day.
Last night we had a fight and
he hit me,
But I know he is sorry
Cause I got flowers today.
I got flowers today,
And It wasn't any special holiday
Last night he threw me against
the wall and started to choke me,
But I know he's sorry,
Cause I got flowers today.
I got flowers today.
It wasn't any special day.
I was swollen and bruised and I
was ashamed to answer the door for
my best friend . But I know he's sorry,
Cause I got flowers today.
If I try to leave him, it just gets worse.
But I'm afraid to leave, But I
know he's sorry
Cause I got flowers today
I got flowers today
As my family and friends filed by my
casket to see me
Asking why I never left him.
If I only had the strength and the
courage to, but I didn't,
So I got Flowers today
For all those victims still suffering and believing it is their fault - it is not
I am a survivor You can be too Learn from the tragedy
thanks for looking
and please spare a thought for all those who remain victims and don't sit in silence if you believe it is happening to someone you know

My ex boyfriend used to beat me, so I can almost completely relate to the poem. The portrait is beautiful, but the poem really hit home. Be safe, Chris. Good job.
