*My first poem I'm putting online* |
Who's the brown eyed girl You see in this reflection You may think you really know But that is your perception Her mind seems lost Somethings clouding up her brain I hate this feeling inside Help me hide my pain Laying on her bed She clinches her blanket tight She prays Daddy isn't drunk And Mama don't start a fight Glass shattered by her door She hears Mama try to explain I hate this feeling inside Help me hide my pain Sitting in the waiting room She hears the Doctor say her name He said she's two months pregnant She hung her head in shame One drunk night at a party She went on and played his game I hate this feeling inside Help me hide my pain Exhausted and sleepy She starts walking home from work She was attacked from behind His hand slipped up in her skirt She begged, cried, and pleaded But tried not to complain I hate this feeling inside Help me hide my pain She holds her Mama's hand As God is giving her her wings She sits and grieves in silence Though her eyes have begun to sting She silently asks her Mama "Are you proud of who I became?" I hate this feeling inside Help me hide my pain Smiling with tears filling her eyes She fluffs up her daughter's dress "You are the most beautiful bride! I have been truly blessed" Her baby is now grown Her emotions she tries to contain I hate this feeling inside Help me hide my pain Her breaths have gone short Her heartbeat is weak Her family is all present Its forgiveness that she seeks She's had a rough past Many obstacles she overcame I hate this feeling inside Help me hide my pain BY: ECHO LYNN SPENCER |
