HER NEW REALITY

This is not the life, family or home she envisaged.

It is not, it also is not that for which she prepared, no, not at all!

She loved sincerely so that she would always be loved.

She submitted and committed totally so that she would be lovingly cared for.

She aimed for virtuous woman so her testimony would be great.

A bevy of crazies swooped in and took the willing away.

The one who cannot control his anger.

The one who does not understand the reason for marriage.

The Mike Tyson-esque spawn of the devil.

The one who rolls and roils.

He leaves early and returns late.

He has no love in his glance or speech.

He demands service, strutting,choosing,primal needs ignored.

Oblivious to how much of her he carries around in him.

Clean clothes, and the very essences of his legality.

He is in debt for a lifetime and more.

This is not the family, life, home she envisaged.

Brilliance, elegance, health and peace.

Outside, weeds and incomplete.

Inside, needs unmet and invasions.

No, this is not her reality.

But this is reality!

Amusement and hilarity.

Acceptance and Resignation.

The new ones of which she is not.

She has to play by new rules or is disrespectful.

She waits for Him. Waits for orders.

She knows it’s a big meal.

When He arrives, He affirms this is her new reality.

The new reality for her family, life and home.
