Title: Why don't you go back to him? Post by: Maiyo on February 19, 2010, 04:53:39 PM Go back to him! He still loves you!
Think of the children.. they can’t grow up without a father! He’ll change, I know the Lord is going to move and miracles will happen! The Lord says you must forgive, so forgive him!! Your children won’t be normal, they say that most of these tsotsis come from broken homes! There is something that you’re not telling us... he is such a nice guy..very decent Are you sure there isn’t somebody else? You are young, you need a man for.. you know.. the nights can get lonely. How will you cope with all the bills? You need a man to support you! All men are the same, better the dog you know than the dog you don’t! What are you looking for out there? There is nothing!! Do you honestly think you can find a faithful man, only for yourself?? Why leave? Sort yourself out and get someone on the side! All married women are doing it and they are much happier!!! You really think you are something special. A woman leaving a man? That’s taboo!! You are such an embarrassment. It couldn’t have been that bad! I never saw you with black eyes!! Fight for your marriage, you are not praying hard enough that’s why your man treats you like this! You are lying about your marriage being a wreck, we would have seen the signs, you just want to play! This is not how a real African woman deals with things, you should have called the elders to come and sit with you before making such a rash decision!! All marriages are bad! Don’t fool yourself and think there’s such a thing as a happily married A woman’s smile, so beautiful and infectious Persuasive yet deceptive for it masks a world of hopelessness and fear A world of depression spiralled out of control! Yet she clings on hoping tomorrow will be better Years go by, the situation worsens Dominance and violence characterise her union Shattered dreams and a broken spirit.. Dead inside.. And yet she smiles on... A moment of consciousness, sanity prevails, She asserts herself Resolute and determined she asks “what if there is a better life?” The desire to leave grows forcefully Fear of living an incessantly dejected life Over powers the fear of repression and violence Rage against the one she loves now redirected to within Remembering existence and freedom before the imprisonment of the heart Pictures of peace and independence Of big dreams and exuberance She takes back her destiny Reclaims her life...plans her escape, And though she is weak and fragile She still smiles on... Strength comes from Yahweh The mighty arms of the Lord give reassurance Tomorrow indeed will be better “..do not worry (for) life is more than food and the body more than clothes. ..the ravens.. do not sow or reap..yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!” As she lays her head to rest, Christ smiles on her.. Fearful and anxious, eager about tomorrow She closes her eyes ...and smiles within By Maiyo Simapungula |
