Life story

by Jenni   Aug 5, 2011


A few weeks
after my birth
daddy speaks
mom left earth

Why did she
have to die
Why not me
saying bye

I now live
with my dad
please forgive
don't be mad

It's my fault
that she's gone
you assault
me, for what've done

She was weak
that season
Now I seek
for reason

I see hate
in your eyes
you say straight
I'm to despise

Makes me pale
yet it's right
you're in jail
be contrite

A family
that just cares
welcomes me
to be theirs

I didn't have
sis or brother
family lists
father and mother

Why does bad luck
follow me only
hit by a truck
again, I'm lonely

Frustration
is what mom feels
this situation
cannot be real

her new friend
numbs her soul
for pain to mend
it's the alcohol

They took me to
an orphanage
I've been through
too much to take

Four years passed
my dad was free
who once harassed
now takes care of me

My grandma
didn't feel well
with what she saw
me going through hell

She wanted to save
what was left of me
That's why I crave
with her to be

God loves her dearly
Their eyes on me
which shows clearly
no reason to flee

I may be alone;
In my life comes
stone after stone
but I won't give up.

    Wow, this top half of the poem is deep. I love how it was short lines yet so much meaning and powerful behind them! Also the flow was very well written!

    I see hate
    in your eyes
    you say straight
    I'm to despise

    Makes me pale
    yet it's right

    I'm really sorry this happened to you but I love how you keep the hope and knowing that it was not your fault.

    Why does bad luck
    follow me only
    hit by a truck
    again, I'm lonely

    Frustration
    is what mom feels
    this situation
    cannot be real

    her new friend
    numbs her soul
    for pain to mend
    it's the alcohol

    Again, nice flow!

    They took me to
    an orphanage
    I've been through
    too much to take

    Four years passed
    my dad was free
    who once harassed
    now takes care of me

    A change of heart! Awesome piece!

    My grandma
    didn't feel well
    with what she saw
    me going through hell

    She wanted to save
    what was left of me
    That's why I crave
    with her to be

    God loves her dearly
    Their eyes on me
    which shows clearly
    no reason to flee

    I may be alone;
    In my life comes
    stone after stone
    but I won't give up.

    I love the ending! Still having hope through everything the reading had been through. Great work! Keep it up! Smile!!! :)

    This was so well-written, sweetheart, if I had more votes, I would nominate this but sadly...:/
    I would show up once again to suggest few things but not now, because I'm so busy. :)
    Love you.
    Take care.
