This note should be send
To an abused friend.

Who fits the mold,
Of being in a strong hold.

Her sons anger as a result of booze
results in her emotional and physical abuse.

The obvious ones are easy to spot.
But the hidden ones are not.

He will deny
And tell you why,

There is no use
To suspect him of abuse.

Why would we ever think
That there is a link

Between the big bruise
and his hands or shoes.

She continues to deny
But not because she is shy.

She thinks for him there is nothing to gain
If she shares her pain.

With authorities to whom she is not willing to admit
That she was hit.

But unless she faces reality
There will be no end to this calamity.

On friends she can only lean
If she allows them to intervene.

Ignoring their advise
Is not very wise

No need to call them to complain.
Only yourself can prevent the pain.

As soon as you are alone
Pick up the phone,

And call the police today.
To have your abuser taken away

I hope you heard what I said
Jail for him is better then you being dead
