I Remember Clearly

it is my past. What can I say?
Happened long ago or yesterday
You see, there was this girl.
She was my friend, I knew her well, too well actually.
She would dress up each night, make up beautifully
And step out in her heels. Night life was her thing

Ooooooooooooooo, there was this other girl
For her, she liked to be asked out
Expensive dinners and after sex
Morning after pills and shameful regrets
Time after time, was her thing. 

Did I tell you about this one night, 
The night she almost died!
With all her friends gone, to sleep their liquor off
She kept wondering, "why am I doing all this?"
Why am I wasting away my life
As she kept throwing up continuously
Terrible night it really was, she was at the edge of death!

But i Bless the Lord for that night, for when
She woke the next morning 
She was changed!! 
Her mind made up, I need Jesus.
Alleluia, Glory to God!
And like I said at the start," what can I say"
It is my past.

Yatubeera Resty Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Wonderful poem in which beauty/hope (She) would dress up each night, make up beautifully And step out in her heels. I enjoyed the ineffable past.
