The father of my daughter
beat me
and also my daughter.
Enough!
I left my house!
It no longer has a hold on me.
He no longer will beat us.
My daughter and I will be safe.

He is a narcotics trafficker.
He threatened my family.
He threatened me.
He abused me.
He drugged me.
He beat me whenever he felt like it.
I have had much fear
for a long, long, long time.
*
I have so much fear of him.
Because of him
I cannot return to Honduras.
I left December 17th.
I arrived January 2nd.
*
I knew the trip would be risky
But
You have only one life to live
and also your children.
I want my daughter to live
so we came to ask for asylum.
