How can a scene go from calm to fierce in a split second as fast as a lighting beam; To go from sleeping in a bed as comfortable as a fluffy white cloud to being raised in the air with a quickening of a heartbeat. Well…One small word can answer the question…ABUSE! Abuse causes a little girl to struggle to speak, as she tries to breathe, to be taken to a dungeon in the dark and to be beaten, left alone, limp, and numb on the ice-cold floor. While tears as warm as tea streams slowly down her face, the same thought echoes in the room “Why me?” No one hears her cries because she is too afraid to open her mouth and let it out. As time goes on, it continues with a punch here and a choke there and it's all justified by the words “I do it because I love you.” If that is love then why would anyone want love? It’s time to rewrite that so called definition of love. Don’t continue to subject others to this, So rise up and take a stand! There are better ways to correct a child that does not involve imprinted fists and cutting off the source to allow us to breath. Don’t mark up the body of a small human being that is in so many ways pure innocence. Walk away if anger fills you up on the inside and then come back to talk it out. Break the curse, rewrite love, and let life continue down a positive path.
