Tashena Mclaughlin Poem
I used to think that I wasn't alone
I used to think maybe I've found the one
But you hit me off my high horse
When you've said I wasn't the one
You didn't consider my feelings
You didn't consider my emotions ??
You left me behind
Right in the past
I am just in my used to era
Remembering all our good times
I always have a smile on my face
No one aware of the pain behind
I gave you everything
Which I can never get back
To my future love
How disappointed you'll be
When you find out
That I wasn't true inside
I wanna apologize to you in advance
Because you won't get my all
Cause all that's left inside of me
Is a shadow of my past
It's a big hurdle I can't get past
Because right now I'm still mad
Angry at the world for betraying me
And taking everything i had

Tashena Mclaughlin Poem
Looking down at the object in her lap,
A single shoe with intertwined laces.
Each time she laced a pattern,
She would look down
Because it seemed so wrong to her.
But the more she laced,
The more she continued,
She started seeing the vision
Of a perfectly laced shoe.
It finished, produced,
Sat on her thighs,
Beneath her eyes.
And the phrase that came to her mind
Was, "My life and the lace are so alike."
It was not because her life was so perfect; no,
It was because they are both so imperfect.
Because she was always the rejected one.
Just like the lace,
Her beginning was not good nor perfect.
Which discouraged many people from actually giving her a chance to continue.
What hurts the most?
Is it their rejection?
Or is it her lack of a voice?
Is it the level of hatred they showed her?
Or is it the same treatment she gives even though she knows better?
