Nikki Pruitt Poet Rhyme

Fearless To Afraid

There was once a time
When I was unafraid,
Then I met my match
And my bed was laid.

I was fearless,
Until I was afraid,
I prayed and I prayed,
I fought for my right
To live through the night.

The devil always tried picking fights,
He tore me to shreds with delight,
He took the form of whom I loved
And laughed at me from above,

As he pulled my strings like a puppet,
he yearned for the day I'd die,
for the day I quit trying to fight,
just waiting to shove me into my shallow grave,
But “I hate you,” was always more than he could say.

There was once a time
When I had it all together,
All I had was mine,
I floated through life,
Like a feather,
I’d fly.

Life was so easy,
Until I met my worst enemy,
The thought of him still makes me uneasy,
I wish meeting him hadn’t been my destiny.

I was so full of purpose,
he filled me with his false promises,
turning my life upside down,
like a circus,
he was the ring master
and I completely lost it.

I lost everything that meant something,
I felt as if I wasn't worth anything,
I was angry at everything worldly
and I just wish as I was screaming
that someone heard me.

From fearless to afraid,
I wish I’d stayed
At home where somebody believed in me,
But I was too blind to see.

Everything dear to me was gone,
because of him so much went so wrong,
I lost myself along the way
and I truly thought I'd never live to see another day.

For once in my life,
I was terrified,
as he pulled his knife
and touched it to my throat
he screamed in my face,
"Stab me, kill me or shut the **** up!"
