Criticize
He did more than criticize her.
He beat her.
And, yet the criticism affected her the most.
Long after the bruises had healed,
his criticisms remained forever etched in her mind.
He took away her confidence.
He took away her self worth.
He took away her voice,
ironically with his own.
Well done, the last for lines are especially powerful.
