Poem Title:
Poem
Her parents wondered why she no longer went. Even though there she would be sent. Across his yard she would run. To her friends on the other street to have fun. The older she became, she would often submit. To the point of feeling this was it. That was who she was to become. A young woman, she had to please everyone. You had never gone to prison. You had never done hard time. Now your dead, without punishment. This woman now has such resentment. She still aches to often please. No matter what fashion, This feeling , she cannot appease. She often worries she has done wrong. That little girls voice rings in her ear. Oh so strong. You took her will away. Those cookies are what made her stay. A trap you set, that even to this day. She feels the need to please, in any way. At age 42, now a mom and a grandmother. She went to every length to protect her own, her sons and daughter. She would kill for them if ever this would happen. Her mind and soul would blacken. A force to be reckoned with, A mother with a past, this is no myth! Because of him and a few others after. Her life was a big disaster. However; She grew stronger although she still pleases and serves. She can say she protected them, she observed. She is now married to a wonderful man. One who doesn't totally understand. Only because herpast is just that. So she keeps it under wrap. She is who she is because of all of this. Stronger, determined, not amiss. She angers easily when she hears tales Of other children, pasts entails. We all deal in our own way. But the last thing she will say. Is letting go of what was is key. To beginning to heal, do you see? If you hold on to what took place. Then you are stuck in the past, misplaced. Let go, let go.... fear no more. Let those feeling go out the door. Allow yourself to recover and rediscover who YOU are meant to be. A human with compassion and create fond memories. ( please rate and comment )
