A woman named Yvette

A named woman Yvette



A woman named Yvette.

Was on Oprah

Yesterday talking about

What her ex boyfriend

Had done to her and

The painful ordeal

She lives daily

because of him.

She was with

Him for 7 or 8 yrs.

He  abused  her

In every way.

Well she got

The courage to

To say goodbye to him because

She  couldn?t take it anymore.

One day he came by her work

He said hi to her friend!

Then called her name she said she?d be

With him in a sec. well she came

To speak with him even though

He wasn?t allowed to go close her she had

A Restraining  order

Against him.

She was trying to nice

she didn?t even say hi before

He poured gasoline on her and lit her on fire.

Shockingly she survived

But thanks to him her life is forever changed!

Her whole body was burned after 17 surgeries

Some of damage skin is falling off

But her life will be the same I wrote

This poem to help get awareness

About abuse out.

If somebody is abusive to you it?s NOT okay

You might think they hit you to show you they

Love you! But BELIEVE me that isn?t

True. If you partner truly loves you

They want hurt they?ll protect you and keep you safe forever and always!!!
