I Cannot Bear This Wicked Pain (Poem)

I Cannot Bear This Wicked Pain

He slowly pulls the shade down and stabs me through the eye,

️

The pain is so excruciating I wish that I could die.

He pounds and beats and bashes at my brain inside my head,

I cannot bear this wicked pain,

I would much rather be dead.

I try to escape, I try to run,

But he grabs me as he says,

"I've only just begun!"

The doctor prescribed some medicine to help with all the pain,

But no matter what I do, he will just beat me up again.

I cannot hear anything but the pounding in my skull.

My vision gets so blurry, then the throbbing becomes dull.

Oh, how I wish and how I pray for the pain to simply go away,

But he beats and bashes at my brain,

I suffer from the terrible pain.

If only I could find a cure then no one else would have to endure,

The agony of these cruel attacks,

I just want to get my life back.

To suffer no more from the ravaging assault,

This pain that appears to be not my fault,

But the brutal hands that tear me apart,

To know others suffer breaks my heart.

These cluster headaches won't go away,

I pray I won't lose my sanity.

Please researchers, find a way

To make these headaches go away. - S Smith

Forced to Flee: When Mothers Say the System Left Them No Safe Place to Stay

DK Family Court Coach - Mothe's Day 2026 We are mothers, not criminals . Yet many women describe living as if they are in hiding—not from justice, but from systems they believe failed to protect them and their children. Imagine waking up every day knowing your child is somewhere you cannot reach. Imagine wondering whether their fears are being heard, while decisions about their future are being made without fully seeing them—or you. For many mothers, that pain does not fade. It settles into every hour of the day, creating a grief that can feel unbearable even while their children are still alive. They say this experience does not just happen in family court but in the child welfare and protective service systems as well. Some noncustodial mothers describe standing alone in courtrooms, representing themselves as their voices sho...

The Great Custody Switch: Mothers Just Filed Family Court Discrimination in New York

Written by DK Family Court Coach For the first time ever, women have united to file a Complaint claiming they are being discriminated against in custody cases in New York on May 19, 2026. "This is the beginning of women taking back their power after being deprived of it." Until the 1800’s, children were legally men’s property and women had zero power to keep their children and men would simply claim their ex-wife was immoral, malicious, crazy, a witch, or whatever. The judge would credit men’s false allegations and grant them custody, the same thing happening today. This is being called the Great Custody Switch . Women are deliberately discredited to abet the Switch. Judges don’t even have to rule a woman is mad or bad , they just find it is in the best interests of the child to switch c...
