Refuge

by Dee   Jun 2, 2007


Every day i come home
to a place that isn't mine
i walk to my room
the doors are in a line

six people live here
children without a home
they ran away or got kicked out
and now are all alone

The workers are here
every single day
trying to help us out
trying to find a way

a month goes by
feels like a year
will i ever have a home?
its something we all fear

2 months gone
my birthdays coming soon
i hope i have my own place by then
maybe I'll rent a room

3 months have pasted
17 and no one was there
nobody knew it was my birthday
and my parents didn't care

4 months 5 months
will this ever end?
maybe I'll move out
move in with a friend

6 months
i moved back in
always fought with Friends
some fights i couldn't win

7 months its been some time
talking to my bro
i hope we can stay friends
i don't know were it'll go

8 months i break down and cry
what am i going to do?
i need to move out but
i don't know where or with who

9 months have gone
my brother came, he saved me
and i now have a home
iv never been so happy

living in a refuge
i felt so empty and so lost
i felt stupid and useless
like i Had no cost

my brother came a saved me
gave me a place to live
i can never thank him enough
theres nothing i could ever give

    Brothers come in handy sometimes, he must care about you alot. Anyways the poem was really powerful, heartfelt emtons, deep raw ans powerfully gripping. the word choice was excellent, and the flow was great, the only improvement I could see that could be made, it instead of using number like 5 and 6 you should try spelling them out five and six, it makes the poem look better, and it impoves the flow.

    That was a good poem.
    the rhyme and rhythm were great.
    it was kind of simple words, but that made the emotion more real.
    good work.

    This poem was great! The subject was an excellent topic to write about and you really put feeling into it. I think you could have made it flow better, there where some parts where I couldn't feel a flow at all. Your wording was simple, but I think that kind of added to the poem, a bit. This is supposed to be in the eyes of a simple girl, so the word choice seems to fit. Overall, it was a good poem. 4/5
