Somebody's Daughter

Somebody's Daughter

A Poem by Gee
"

Isn't every woman special no matter the life choices they make.

"
A few came to unburden themselves
seeking nothing but an ear and dry shoulder,
as they knew that here, in her rented room with cheap peeling paper,
mildewed skirting and threadbare carpet
secrets would be held as safe as in any confessional.
Others came to act out long held fantasies,
fantasies perhaps frowned upon by their wife, girlfriend,
or perhaps never discussed, as these viewed as taboo by society.
And then there were the lonely, the shy,
those who only ever experienced laptop intimacy behind drawn curtains
in badly lit bedrooms, believing porn to be reality.
But all that visited had one thing in common,
they gave no thought to the woman, the daughter,
the person to whom they were at their most open, honest, intimate with.
Because in their eyes her only worth the payment left before leaving.

The pawn. The all in all to many yet respect should go to the one who 'rocks the cradle'. She has suffered much under the hands of critics but there has to be that softer side to someones daughter. What I am trying to say is, where is the respect due to the bearer of humankind - the cradle that nurtures? Thank you for this recognition Gee.

My pleasure!
Poetry in its truest form is the writer connecting the dots. It should make you think and/ or feel. In this case it has done both.

Every woman is special in some way--period.

Gee,
Your words are painful and honest. This is a powerful poem. So many daughters used and then thought of as disposable items. Your poem covers a plethora of emotions and tells a story that has haunted man since time began. Thank you for writing with dignity about undignified actions.
Peace,

Makes people view what they once saw as an object as a person who is entwined in our community. Perhaps they don't want to recognise her as a person because of the shame on their part, coming to her services.
Nicely writen with some well thought lines.

This is the poem I mentioned the other day. A unique view on a not-so-popular topic for poems.
A really touching one.

Yes, there are far too many people disrespecting others.
This one touches on something deep.
