i kept your sins sheltered within
you felt no shame, no guilt
the harm you unleashed on me
new scars, freshly laid, bloody patterns
wounds unhealing inside me always raw
the pain withered me into submission
your burden to bear by chance
my penance for choice of heart
but rage will emerge, so beware
for every injury, insult, and humiliation
there will be justice inflicted severely
bloody eye for my bloodied eye
painful welts you’ll receive from strangers
lawless games played for your ways
brutality and cruelty like i received
i’ll see you caged just like me
you made me what i am
I Write Her 
I loved the truth here

The inspiration actually came from a male but it can certainly be any sex who is subjected to this cruelty.

Incredibly sad. Wish there weren’t any such pain like this in our world but as long as I’ve lived, it doesn’t seem to change. Thanks for stopping in to read, Lorraine.

The person or society tolerating the wrongs of the wrongdoer is no less guilty than the wrongdoer himself / herself..
An eye for an eye may or may not make the whole world blind, but it will definitely prevent an evil person from committing this crime ever again..
Hope you receive what you desire, Susi..!!
