Because of this cunt
Because of this cunt
Because of this cunt
I was bullied by this man
Because of this cunt
Punching my face
Kicking my chest
I cannot count how many times he twisted my arm
Non-stop hospital visits
Eye clinics, orthopedics, all the way to the abortion clinic
Scars everywhere, visible and invisible
On my body, in my heart, in my mind
Before he did it, he actually did it (to me)
He punched the wall
Screamed
Cursed
Smashed my phone against the wall
Ripped my laptop from my hands and threw it
Then, apologizing
apologizing
apologizing
promising it won’t happen again
explaining losing his temper
apologizing and promising it won’t happen again
and then beating me again.
Apologies on one hand,
Beating and cursing in the other hand.
This bastard slapped me for refusing sex
the whites of my eyes bloodshot
there were all red
it looked so scary, freaking scary
I felt so small
How dare I leave the house?
How can I answer people’s questions?
What else can I answer
Brave me, who dares to stand up for myself
I know what I want, I have all the ability to achieve what I want
I am a smart woman
But when I experience this, I am no longer the smart one
If you don’t want to be tortured, just leave!
Just leave
Why is it so hard?
I did not get the help I needed
Being told to just leave wasn’t enough for me
This happened last February, when we were all protesting in the streets
He beat me
There was so much news to follow
Because my eyes were swollen shut, he read the news to me
While people were beating pots and pans at 8 pm,
“ding ding dong dong”
I was drying my wet hair in front of the full-length mirror
He smashed my mirror with the pots and pans he was beating
and beat me with my hair dryer
The scars are still there
When I drink a beer, have few sips of alcohol, the scars reappear
Half of my face was bruised purple
It took a month to recover
Because of this cunt
Because of this cunt
It’s because of this cunt
Another time it was about abortion
Three days after the abortion, he kicked me in the stomach
and I had to run
I had to run from home
I carried this cunt away and ran
“I’m not scared to kill you, bitch!
I will dare to kill you, I am not afraid to kill myself either
I’ll kill you and get rid of your body, bitch!”
I heard this very often
Very, very often
Because of this cunt
Because of this cunt
It’s because of this cunt
I carried this cunt away and ran again, and again.
He slipped threats under my door
I fled to Shan State
One day, on a friend’s Birthday
everybody was drinking and having good food
we talked a lot, and had fun
We were drunk
I was drunk too
I went home after saying good-bye
All I remember was I went home drunk and tired
I don’t know how that animal found me
He came there while I was sleeping
took off my clothes
removed my red lipstick
put his head between my thighs and licked my cunt
I woke up
I was really angry
I wanted to kill him
I kicked him off
grabbed his hair and rubbed his face on the floor
It’s because of you, because of you
I swear, to him
to me, to this cunt
I swear
I swear
I swear
I shout
I shout
I shout
That’s all I was doing
I was tired from crying
In the end, I think again there was nothing to do with this cunt
I blamed myself
I blamed my cunt
Without this cunt, I wouldn’t have to be tortured
I yelled at my cunt, I beat it
I cried
I wanted to die and I hated my cunt the most
That man’s abuse had nothing to do with my little cunt, I’m sorry
I apologised to my little cunt
I apologise, my little cunt
It’s not her fault
She has nothing to do with this
I’m sorry I couldn’t protect her
I apologised
I apologised
I apologised
I apologised
I apologised
I cried
I apologized
These two years were hell
It was so difficult
And then I talked to her
I’m sorry for blaming my innocent cunt
Please stop crying
After all, doesn’t she deserve love?
The commonly held belief in some societies that it is ok for a man to beat a woman is entirely wrong. Domestic violence can be characterized as abuse amongst family members or in any relationship. It can occur between or among fathers, mothers, grandparents, uncles, aunties, siblings, cousins, other relatives, or married couples, housemates, or dating couples. Domestic violence includes but is not limited to: physical abuse, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, threats, religious persecution, pressure to have sex without consent, and pressure to have a pregnancy without consent. Domestic abuse can include sex without consent. Sex cannot be performed without both partners' consent. In all cases, including for couples, consent is essential. Sex without consent is rape. Domestic violence can take many forms so as a result, victims of abuse may not even be aware that they are being abused. Anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender can be a victim of domestic violence. The majority of domestic violence victims, according to existing research, are women. It's critical not to make the victim blame herself or her womanhood (if the victim is a woman). Victims should not feel pressured to remain silent and tolerant. Violence is violence, and there are no justifications for it. Domestic violence can be perpetrated by people of any gender. Domestic violence victims face numerous obstacles in speaking out for a variety of reasons. If you know someone who has been a victim of domestic violence, please provide a safe space for them and urge them to speak up. We must listen to them with respect and without passing judgment. Instead of responding "Why don't you just leave?" or "Why are you tolerating this?" We could ask about the victims' challenges and provide physical and mental assistance. Finally, no one deserves to be mentally or physically tortured or abused for whatever reason.
