The Monster That Bit Me

THE MONSTER THAT BIT ME I spoke of the monster that bit me And the world stood against me How can u be so profane ? Was the question I received The old women clapped their hands over my head To express their disgust and disdain The young men blamed my fairness And no one could feel my pain Young maiden have you no shame To bring disgrace upon my name ? Those were the words of my father As harsh as a stormy weather Is this the baby that sucked from me ? Oh what is this foible i have lived to see? When did I grow a wanton clover? Were the questions of my mother I saw the smirk in the monster's face As he stood with high shoulders in grace How many more maidens have suffered in silence? From the fear of the world's rejection ? How many more monsters would walk freely After taking such lustful bites How many more maidens awaits the pain Of this lurking evil beast O at dusk he was a greedy plucker And at dawn a holy mam He has left in me a scar forever A seductive broken woman BY:Adams O Elizabeth Lizdiamond World Of Poetry
