Tyshawn Knight Poet Rhyme

Worldly Woman

WORLDLY WOMAN
(She's haunted by her past)

I cry the tears of a wordly woman.
Used and abused.
I'm old news.
I've been there, done that,
no longer going forward,

always crying when I look back.

I used to be at men's beck and call,
always standing alone against the wall,
but never standing tall.

They did to me as they please,
brought me down to my knees.

I had you-

That alone was reason to stop them.
But I acted as if I didn't know anything else.
Yes, I did what they wanted
no matter how I felt.

I cry the tears of a worldly woman.
Used and abused.
I'm old news.
I've been there done that,
no longer going forward.

Always crying when I look back.

It was like I had no name.
I had no self-respect.
Some called me girl,
Some called me pet.

But, what I call myself
I still don't know the answer to that 
yet.


I cry the tears of a worldly woman.
Used and abused.
I'm old news,
I've been there, done that.
No longer going forward,

Always crying when I look back.

Always crying when I look back.

Paul Callus October 29, 2015 at 9:21 AM This worldly woman cries...haunted by her past, but perhaps also crying out for help, to erase the past and find comfort in change. #7 ~ Regards // paul

John E Stokes April 12, 2015 at 9:53 AM TK, here again very nice write with deep thought and much pain; as the reader I felt your innermost emotions. Very well written. Take care, TK.
