This Needs To Need

My writing 1 Minute

I’m not a parent

But even I can see the repeat

In cases of crimes against women

Who are also mothers

That when a relationship goes south

But they still aren’t leaving

To a place of safety

Even if at the cost

Of their lives if it would mean

Leaving their children behind

  1. This is a deeply moving and thought-provoking poem. Its greatest strength is its quiet honesty—you begin with “I’m not a parent,” yet what follows shows a profound understanding of the impossible choices that can confront women trapped in abusive relationships.
