POEM: "IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE"


People who are placed in ‘do or die’ situations will do almost anything to ensure their survival just as the protagonist of the novel had done. This poem speaks of a young woman who is face to face with a killer – her husband. Her first instincts are to protect herself and therefore she has no other option but to kill him herself: “Though I’d die first indeed. Hard to imagine yourself through it. Never know what can happen in dire need”. Ultimately - this woman was willing to become a killer in order to survive.
