I'm Not Ready To Talk.

She said life has been swell

but in reality, it's hell

home is room 19 at Motel 6

she's fed up with Satan's teasing tricks

 

 

New day, new bottle

heart pounding as she pulls on the throttle

wind in her hair

someday she'll go somewhere

 

 

She just turned seven and she can't write her own name

a strange pencil in her hand, but it isn't the same

unmatching clothes but no one will care

bags under her eyes and knotted red hair

 

 

Yeah, she'll be your friend and she'll be perfect for you

a shoulder to cry on when you're feeling real blue

but she's only kind because of her past

but how long will that excuse really last?

Everyone is sick with satan! Poem is really emotional. But that was the past, and this is the present right? So forget about the past and think about the future cause that is really where you need to put all your effort into everything you do!

I sounded corny/suck there XD

Ain't life difficult? I can't exactly relate to this personally, but I can feel the struggle through your writing. It shows a life of hardships, not just one incident, and it's very powerful. Thank you.

[A. V. Madison]

No, thank YOU for the wonderful review!

[Lina Grey]

No prob, love.

Very sad but very nice too.I like how you started and how you ended too.
(To survive on this planet you have to be very strong and strength/muscles dont come easily,its through trouble,pain and hardship thats when strength builds.
You will get there,do not worry.

[Harley (arbiter)]

[A. V. Madison]

No because we already know what happened when that story was told. I damn near had a breakdown. -.-

Very revealing without actually pointing things out too boldly. The emotions are clear and powerful. I love it! The picture adds a nice touch as well. Nice job!
