I need help

I can't survive this,
If I leave,
I know he's going to be pissed,
He walks through the door and
Gives me a kiss,
I can't keep going on like this,
I need help,
I pray to God every night,
I need your strength ,
To help me through this,
Oh God I want this to end,
I need help,
I can't survive this,
Prison I'm in

dear Charina,

I've been in your shoes, lived this life...before you go, make sure that you have somewhere to go to. even the police department can direct you to a safe-house. your poem is poignant, this reader feels your pain!

in this line: I prayed to God every night(s), remove the "s"

welcome to Neopoet, it is nice to meet you. good luck on the contest.

*hugs, Cat

Hopefully...

you are out of that situation! If not, take the advice of Cat and make sure you have a safe place to go and get! Your language
use is fine and the pattern somehow gives it strength to make it seem as though the days and nights blend together. Just one long wish to be free. You have mixed your tenses, " I [prayed] to God every night. Even if you have left the situation, I would use [pray]. I can see this as a flashback. Good luck and welcome to Neopoet. ~ Geezer.
