Walayee Poet Lay Whitlock-Ishway Poet Rhyme

Pain - Attention - Choice - Life

~Pain~ 
She has no role models
Her mind is filled with sorrows
Buries her pains in liquor bottles
Dreads the thought of her tomorrows…

~Attention~
She craves it like a junkie 
Jumps in and out of bed with men
Like a wild monkey
Nothing more than their flunky…

~Choice~
She never had one
Taken before she could run
Understood by none
She went for the gun…

~Life~
She wanted it to end
Her bleeding heart would not mend
She prayed God’s mercy he would extend
As her suicide note she penned…

Lay

Sara Kendrick December 24, 2010 at 3:54 AM This is so true..The hurting child within that did not receive the emotional needs met as a child seeks it in the wrong way as an adult..Great topic on which you have composed your work..I am glad that I chose this one to read this morn..About my work "At Night Thinking", my husband has been in the hospital to have a knee joint replacement..I stayed with him except for one afternoon that I came home for one and a half hours to get a shower feed the dog and cats and check the mail..Sara

Dr.Ram Mehta December 19, 2010 at 1:58 PM Nice expression of the dark and sad thoughts we often think of, Walayee. The only saviour is about to make huis entry.
