Ageism
Her friend pushed her
Past the breaking point.
Stoic lines teased her mind
The prison for assault.
She left him with a
Turn of her heel
Grinding holes into the dust.
Her child pushed her
Past the breaking point.
Broken lines teased her mind
Freedom in size
With a red behind
She left him.

A powerful poem with strong emotions and actions! This poem about abuse is a profound one in which the victim of abuse first acts with courage by leaving the abuser, but then later the victim turns abuser herself by physically hurting her child! You have written with wisdom about abuse taking size and strength into account!

I just had to say how much I admire everyone who writes poetry. I don’t know how you guys do it. I never managed to put two lines together. This was just beautiful!

This poem is everything!! There is a point where too much is too much and we need to walk away, especially when it goes on over time. There is a lot of powerful emotions behind this, especially when it deals with human to human interactions.

Human to human interactions was what I was aiming to show in this poem, and I am so glad you connected with that! Thank you.
