Best Life Story Poems

I was beaten
With a belt or a hand
Time after time
When I supposedly did wrong
They never warned
Just did
They don't care
So why should I
This is my life story
And I've chosen
Chosen the dark road
They always pushed me
Told me to do my best
But my best was never goo enough
They...

Like when I was in the middle of the stadium, 
And I was the one that was thrown.

Awakened into life
Falling in love with you

Memories like...

Let me tell you a story……..
Nothing new under the sun really.
Happened many times.

Autumn flourished and Christmas was near.
Hark, the bells tolled.
The womanizer discovered love.
Too late.
For now she died much too quick.

Friends rally round.
Especially Lisa, his illegitimate daughter.
All in vain.  For now his love is...

Well I was born a bouncin' baby boy,

On June 23rd in Danville Illinois. ( Ill-i-noy - the s is silent)

 

My mom will never forget that special date,

Back in the year of '68.

Ending in heart-wrenching tragedy.

 

My sister would've...

Whispers in the night, longing for your ears
To drown every fear
But the sorrow sleeps with me tonight. 

Whispers in the night, saying a bitter prayer,
Gone the summer cheer,
Only cold snow fills me deep inside. 

Remembering the fun-filled laughter, the dreams we shared;
Together we made it:...

Our life story, is like a zebra for us,
A black band, a white band, then a big ****,
And in the end, as everybody knows,
Prepare to receive by the hoof the final blow!...

Ms Agnes finally presented herself in front of me and ordered me to stand. I remember 
feeling small as I looked up into Ms Agnes' face, looking into eyes covered with an opaque 
blue film.  "Ho ow cha han chile" her voice barked. So...

At the age of twenty two I gave birth to my first child to survive. A beautiful 
and flawless daughter with dark brown eyes and hair like mine.  When she turned five years

Started high school days, with science and math, 
Dreaming of becoming an engineer's chosen path, 
Time flew by, engineering degree achieved, 
No time for novels or poems, I believed.

Limited vocabulary, science fiction in my hand, 
Never thought poetry would be part of my plan, 
Married...
