A poem to encourage those who need help to escape from bad situations

Pheonix, rise again
Fly because you can;
Words will set you free
Don't let a pushy man
Keep you in captivity
No right has the right;
The grounds of decency
Say you should win the fight
Be all that you can be.

I know, I contribute, I care, I share, I ache, I believe that no one should be subjected to misery due to someone's mean attitude, poverty or lack of education.

I understand that I cannot forcefully drag someone from what she considers her home, no matter how miserable.
I cannot convince her to leave the father of her children even though he is abusive to her and the children.

I cannot understand though, why this goes on in a world where there is an opportunity to take these children to a safe place, a clean place, a warm place, a happier place where they may gain self esteem and good food and a feeling of joy in the world.

I keep reading about sad relationships, about mean people.....life is short, misery should be left behind....the future can be bright....

If one person changes her life, leaves an abusive situation because of my writing, I would Thank God for giving me the opportunity to help point her in the right direction.....
