Life of a woman with hopes withered….short story

In a small town, she lived a life like a fragile butterfly, adorned with dreams of her own. A woman with a heart full of hope, she was destined for something greater, yet trapped in a cage of despair.

Married to a man who was more possessive than caring, her days were filled with mental torment. He was like a venomous snake, slowly poisoning her spirit. His jealousy was a chain that bound her, growing tighter with each passing day.

As time went on, her wings grew weaker, and her vibrant colors began to fade. As her light dimmed in the darkest phase each day and night, she even had no interest to interact with friends and family. Her dreams and aspirations started to wither away like petals in the wind.

But she held on, not just for herself but for the little one who looked up to her crying, also crying out to God during the worst fights that she had to watch through, her innocent eyes filled with admiration. Thinking of all these situations the mother’s heart couldn’t let a child inherit the legacy of darkness.

As she looked into her child’s eyes, she found the strength she needed. She realized that breaking free from this vicious cycle would be the only way to protect, to give a chance at a brighter future for the little one.

With newfound determination, she started to sought help, reaching out to support networks and professionals. Slowly but steadily, she began to rebuild her life, mending the fractures that had shattered her soul but failed, one fateful day she took her step back thinking of the societal norms, parents and the child on how a woman’s life and a child without father and future fragments that she may have to go through.

She emerged from the darkness, her spirit renewed and her wings stronger than ever. She decided to fight, face and mend her troubles herself by accepting the poison of the past current and even future may be, all these may not define her anymore as she’s strong enough to bend her man with her profound nature and conquer any storms, because she had even defeated the death during the worst fights. Her determination was just to keep up her spirit true and high for herself believing in Almighty. With all these, she became a symbol of resilience, a testament to the strength of the human spirit and own decisions. No blaming anyone except her fate and God’s might.


Reminder, seeking help from support networks, professionals, or organizations that specialize in domestic violence is essential in real-life situations like this scenario in the story which is a reflection of many women in the world. Your well-being and safety are paramount. Love and care yourself for the sake of yourself and God who has created you for a purpose in this journey.
