She Walked- a Poem About My Life

She walked along life’s pathway Dejected and alone She walked along life’s pathway Her course was yet unknown. She passed by many people Who wouldn’t even smile She passed by many people Who would not go the second mile. She sighed and looked around her The journey seemed so long She sighed and looked around her No one could sing her song. She soon passed by Happyville The people seemed alright She soon passed by Happyville She couldn’t spend the night. She needed a happy pill To get her through her day She needed a happy pill They wouldn’t let her stay. She then passed by Strongville The people seemed so tough She then passed by Strongville She wasn’t tough enough. She rushed by Beautyville They didn’t let her in She rushed by Beautyville She was plain and not thin. She passed by Successville The people with degrees She passed by Successville They’d bring her to her knees. She passed by Churchville The people there were saints She passed by Churchville They preached about constraints She sat down and wondered A tear rolled down her cheek She sat down and wondered Why she was so very weak. She thought to just stay there The world could pass her by She thought to just stay there It would be easier to die. Just then he sat beside her “You can lean on me!” Just then he sat beside her “There's much for you to see!” He pulled her to her feet He straightened up her hair He pulled her to her feet “There is beauty everywhere!” He had learned the secret It was no mystery He had learned the secret Contentville would set her free! The people there were normal They all had struggles too The people there were normal They’d make her feel brand new. She walked along life’s pathway She held on to his hand She walked along life’s pathway Glad that he could understand!
