Unknown

As the blood drips
Whiskey she sips
And tears roll down her face

She looks at herself 
And thinks what else
Except what a huge disgrace

With her heart torn 
And her mind worn
She believes shes losing it all

But then she remembers 
Like sparks to the embers
And knows that shes got to stand tall

But sadly her heart is jaded
From malice this world has created
Still she throws her head back 
And screams to the sky
Thank God ive finally made it.

Belle, 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 <-@
