I have something to say to me, the child within I can still see; sad that the beginning was bad, and I have wandered a nomad, lost in my mind on this journey; where death has stolen the beauty. Yet, through the grief something was born, into the soul of a girl forlorn; the gift of the pen was given, so, I take all that is broken . . . All the sorrow and all the pain, all the hurt that is my vast chain; and to the child in me - let it go, surrender- let it drift and flow. To this woman, I am now, to me, and right now, I will vow; that I will live in the moment, letting go of each sad fragment, each dagger into my scarred heart the past, the present- always apart . . . ______________________ October 16, 2017 Rhyme/Dear Me Copyright Protected, ID 950087 Written for the contest, What Child Is This sponsor, Craig Cornish Ninth Place

A lovely poem with an impressive ending, but most of all I love the author's character! It is not easy to build a strong and fruitful life, considering that the early years were hard ones for you. Regards // paul

A beautiful, melancholy and freeing write Broken Wings. 'letting go of each sad fragment' and 'the past, the present- always apart.' - making the choice to free your heart and soul.., to surrender... one of my favorite concepts, wonderfully and poetically expressed so well. Good luck in the contest!
