I can't --
Believe
I ever --
Gave him
A chance
To be
With me
I can't --
Believe
I ever --
Held faith
In his
Goodness
Fallacy
I can't --
Believe
I ever --
Listened
To him
Or granted
Him any
Respect
I can't --
Believe
I ever --
Thought
MALES
Could be
Resilient
To remain
Decent despite
Traumas
As females --
In life's
Tribulations.

**As with all poetry, essays, correspondence and/or published letters, e-mails or other communications presented on this webpage, this poem is a personal subjective expression of its author's own feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and opinions. This statement is in no way intended to invalidate or minimize the powerful and poignant experiences of this author. However, this statement is intended to indicate that creative expressions such as these written forms of artwork are derived from their author's own personal feelings, thoughts, beliefs and opinions.
**This is a stalker based work, however, the same theory can pertain to other males who commit domestic violence. The term, "resiliency," is a well-documented concept in the psychology/social work professions. The author has used this term to suit her own specific expressive requirements and thus has not researched all potential aspects of this term to analyze its every angle for use in this work. Poetry and freestyle essays are a form of artistic writing and over-analysis by an author can remove the spontaneous life from the end product. This work's use of the word, "Traumas," does not refer strictly to childhood trauma. However, many males who commit domestic violence and stalking have been battered as children. Moreover, many males who commit domestic violence have observed their fathers in the act of battering their mothers. Stalking is oftentimes noted to be a form of domestic violence. The word, "Traumas" within this work is in reference to a broad range of traumas an individual can experience either in childhood or adulthood due to a wide variety of circumstances. This work and the majority of works on this site are relative series works. This site is entitled Night Vision, these works are primarily of the Night Vision group.
