Your Lies Changed Me

I was brave,
I was smart,
I was loved,
I was innocent,
I was ravishing.

Then everything changed,
when I started joining gangs.

I believed life was fun,
I became an alcoholic,
I started smoking drugs.

They lied to me,
concieved me
and they changed my life,
my reputation.

My life became a worst nightmare,
because of them.

Now its time to bounce back,
the time to built my character,
the time to rebuilt my reputation.

Now is time for me to explode,
to the whole world.

Tokollo, 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 <-@
