*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
