Domestic Abuse Poem by Lola Aged 11 Domestic Abuse D epression washed over their hearts, O bsession always follows them every day, M ind games leaving them frightened and bewildered, E motions they are not allowed to feel, S carring them for the rest of their lives, T rapped inside a box of hatred and hurt, I solated, losing friends and family, C ruelty, coldness instead of love and security. A ngry accusations stab like knives in their skin, B roken on the inside and outside, U seless to the ones they loved and cherished once, S adness is a constant companion, E very day is the same, an inescapable prison.
