A Poem for Domestic Violence Victims
A friend of mine recently shared with me a poem she'd written after her boyfriend had repeatedly beaten her, threatened to kill her, then when finished, pretended like nothing had ever happened. We'll call her Carina, which means beloved. She's given me permission to...
