Best Sadfor Her Poems
It was on a Christmas Eve
early in the morn
into a world so often cold
a little girl was born.
Her parents, they did love her,
the way that it should be
but her father, who's a good man,
had been raised with cruelty.
When he doled out punishment
for all her childish ways
the lessons that he taught her
would stay with her all her days.
Growing up was never easy
and she grew up so confused.
Other kids did more than tease her
and at home she was abused.
But she grew up all the same
then came to that time of life
when she thought she was ready
became a mother and a wife.
They faced a lot of hardships
but tried to love anyway
and her husband, who does love her,
has been so mean along the way.
Yes, life is hard for everyone
this woman surely knows.
Hate and misunderstanding
seems to follow where she goes
with so many quick to tell her
that she is always wrong
so many times she has been shown
that she just don't belong.
She tries so hard to understand
the reasons for her tears
and is punished for her feelings
as she has been all her years.
She knows that there is more to life
than what always seems to be.
All she wants is to be loved
without the cruelty.
Note: My dear friends, this is not an easy write for me but a necessary one. I was at a very
low point in my life and I prayed for God for direction or to let it end. I wrote the poem I Am
then joined PoetrySoup. I know God led me to this wonderful site for a reason. I may still
have a long way to go but I am starting to move forward. I want to thank you all for your
encouragement and kindness. Being able to write again is helping me and as fellow writers,
I know you understand. Thank you for sharing with me and teaching to become a better
writer. God bless you all and Happy Holidays! Love, Robin.
Dancing in the shadows
She waits for her prince to come
For she believes in fairytales
Much easier than some
A little girl of thirteen years
Blind, since the day of her birth
"Just another obstacle", she says
"For it doesn't determine my worth"
She's daddy's little princess
He says she was born to dance
Trapped in a world of darkness
That robbed her, of her chance
Never once has she complained
About the things that she can't see
When she dances in the darkness
Her soul is truly free
She twirls and jumps continually
She lights up the entire room
Her smile, the brightest thing of all
Even the darkness is consumed
Dancing in the shadows
She waits for her prince to come
For she believes in fairytales
Much easier than some
