THE SCAR

Read Time:26 Second

www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [The Scar]
These scars I earned
On the night your father
Pounced on me in drunken stupor
Because my food pleased not his tongue

Many a night, I’ve neared the cliffs of death
My beauty vanished by the magic of beatings
For I was but a drum happily beaten
Forced to make beautiful sounds

What choice did I have?
I was just a wife.
