Happy ever after
cold and hungry, looking for love
hoping a miracle could be sent from above
tired aching born to a world of despair
hoping there are heart out there that actually care
sitting on the streets cause there’s nowhere to stay
being walked by, day after day
laughing people pass me by
sorrow, grief, just about to cry
then i see a hand reach out
a helping hand?! I so graciously shout!
no, it was my ticket to hell
this is the beginning of the story i tell
of how that was the top of my life, now i fell
he’s working me so hard i could yell
i cry everyday, thinking of how better life would have been
if i dint run away and not be seen
they beat me!, im nine!
but life then compared to now was perfectly fine
its like im enclosed between 4 walls
HELP! i scream
crying on my bed wishing it was only a dream
close my eyes, pinch myself
look at the picture i once called myself
i smiled
while reminiscing the past
i cry
hoping this life wouldn’t last
atlast!
my hope is here
the police is finally here
im saved!?!
no, im put for adoption
hes put in jail
for slavery
i feel no better
i get adopted, again and again
each time a different pain
wishing i could see the face of my creator
instead now like i was not even created
so many faces
so many places
so many fears
so many tears
i was adopted about 70 times
now im thinking adoptions a crime
because each time
gets worse and worse
one day im treated like a horse
the other worse
i cant take it!
until..
i find the one parent
that treats me like a child
I finally feel… safe
poor, but safe
for the first time in my life, i felt… a warm fuzzy feeling, whats it called,love?
im 15, now living a happy life
due to lack of feeding, i look like a twig
wearing a wig
due to lack of education
i am not smart
i start school
im know as “uncool”
thats fine
i can do with a little verbal abuse
now im being shoved into lockers
i thought i had escaped the physical abuse
i feel like… no use
they tell me im ugly
they tell me im dumb
i start by pricking my thumb
it takes the heart pain away
then i go to my room and just… lay
cutting myself now, i think it feels.. good
next day at school, we are asked general math knowledge
multiplication
due to lack of education
i dint follow
my head was hollow
i sit staring
not caring
not hearing what has to be said
in my head
everyone was dead
i hear shouting now
its my name
they tell me to go…
die?
i start to cry
i run away
they dont know my past
the agony was too much
i cant take it
i cut myself more
now i feel sore
how am i going to end this never ending pain
im gonna end the pain by… ending my life
i grab a knife
hold it to my chest
a tear drop falls
i look out the window
watching my life replay
all that pain must END today!!!
piercing through to my heart
bye bye world, its been a disaster
and that is.. my happy ever after.
Very Deep. Good Job, i liked the way you rhymed the whole poem it just flowed together and was very good.
I agree, I liked the way it rhymed too. Also I liked the way you describe how the person feels in this poem and the way the poem takes a shift from a dark tone to a happy and back to dark again. Very well done!
Ok I no this was written a loooooonnnnggggg time ago but man this is so deep. That was the amazing part man I’m proud of you for that. Now everyone can see how could of a writter you are keep it up!
