Speak

I look in the mirror and 
I see a girl that's scared to speak 
I see fear and disappointment in every word she speaks 
I see the untold tears 
That nobody wants to speak 
Wrong turnings dead ends 
She weeps 
When alone she screams 
Pushing all and everybody that comes close out of reach
Frustration and anger her key
Hopeless drifting with no ambition they scream .
But I see the girl that wants to be happy and free 
Be loved by all 
Fill life with all and everything that she could be 
Make them proud of the women 
She is to be 
Fill life with all and everything that she could be 
Be beautiful be bold proud of who she sees 
A masterpiece 
Beautifully made she doesn't know that she's unique 
Future layed out and planned from god she doesn't see 
Heavy heart 
With a perfect frame 
Painted smile on her face 
To cover up the scars that still  remain 
In the mirror I see 
A girl that wants to speak 
                                                                                                        -Adaam Jagne

Adaam, 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 <-@
