What It Is

she can't really explain,
the things that confuse her,
it's like she fell on her face, 
but it's not the first time, 
and that may be why,
shes taking blows to her pride, 
though she don't let it stop her,
from what she know's is true,
cause by the time she get's back up,
the sun is still shining,
and her freedom is still fighting,
for her right to live,
makin her own desicions,
all by herself,
without any guidance.
 
now she hears the beats,
of the cars passing by,
ring through her mind,
and out her mouth as a rhythm,
while just getting lost,
in the world around her,
loosing every piece her mind,
cause only here she is aloud to.

You've got a good head on you Morgan. You have a way of saying things that are nice. This poem is very good and if the young lady doesn't know you she should. Please use a spell checker, I'm and old guy. I spell pretty well, but I still use the checker, and most others do too. I'll be looking for more of your poems--Charles

I can fully dig this. Work on the spelling a bit, but I do still feel the message.
