In me.

Fear,  is what

is left in me

I come with honor

and a pitiable dignity

For I agreed

to something

I indeed regret

I cannot escape

Stuck at an infinite depth

I search helplessly

for a sign of refuge

A means of understanding

I say a prayer or two

The man in my life

who once seemed to understand

is nothing but a coward 

a simpleton at hand

Who is not a real

but a fake personality

And behind closed doors

He shows his stupidity

"A wife" he claims

"is irresponsible and meek"

He has to show his authority

to prove she's weak

Unfortunes follow

Treasures drain

The abuse increases

and with that, its pain

My sorrow is abundant

My tears fill

what have I done

to deserve this will ?

For once I was a bride

with a certain charm

Now I'm a woman

Who's always harmed

I was a being

Sold in a hurry

to a family unknown

whose intentions vary

Dowry they want

for a world so safer

Thoughts otherwise

hidden, the better.

Tears of torture

pain and misery

A world that lacks salvation

Is one that belongs to me

I lay here

Silent to the earth 

writhing in pain

Stripped of my worth

Fear is what

Is left in me

I came with honor

Gone is my dignity
