I'm Emotionally Broken

I am emotionally broken and angered
a boy beast pounced like a bird of prey
on a feminine skin with heavy
punch on her eye lid she bleeds

I'm emotionally instigated
trouble awakes with fearless ambition
causing nuisances and
stirring war of attrition

I'm emotionally outraged
this attempt of molestation
a stage fight against a woman
shall never go scot free

I'm emotionally disappointed
our own is now against us
our own is now hunting us
our own is now bet to fight

I'm emotionally stabbed
beyond forgiving
this threat of life
is now ripened

in this line: I'm emotionally outrageous I think you mean (outraged)
these lines effected me the most:

I'm emotionally disappointed
our own is now against us
our own is now hunting us
our own is now bet to fight

This piece is emotionally charged. A brave and well written expression of an ongoing issue that is all too often minimized. Well done.

Infinite thanks RoseBlack for reading through. It's a current issue right now. My only sister was terribly beaten by a cousin.

This is a problem that seems all to 'normal' in today's world. Revictimizing the victim has become acceptable. The very reasons why domestic violence victims don't speak up. Raising awareness is the only way to make progress

You nailed it. That's plain truth RoseBlack! Thank you for the analysis.

So appealing to one's place in emotion. So cleverly written! This not only struck a nerve, in me, it pushed me as well into thinking about the distance in our lives.

Ray that's just it. You nailed it through. It was written because of family issue. My only sister was beaten by a cousin.

Thanks for reading through.
