Haunted

Connubial

Her taste was only -- Success

She, failed no exam -- Never

In school nor in college.

Neither-

Did, she fail in Courage!

In and outdoors,

At work or home-

However,

Unfortunate she became

When she was-

Left, on the road to spin

Like a top-

From the swing of a rope.

Failing

To the masculine whip-

Losing grip on her life-

There was a single

Choice to

Live again – Separation.

By divorce, did she fail or win?

Question, endlessly haunting her mind-

A poem that will speak to many, as it spoke to me. Being not afraid to find oneself again and live. Always wondering was it the right choice. Beautifully written.
