No One Told Me

A cement block is tied to my heart

Most days I need a running start

At night my voice carries like a lark

Death’s arrow has hit its mark

My life is so dark

This side of the ocean is full of sharks

Some days I feel like such a tart

I used to be my Dad's sweetheart

No one told me life would be so hard.

 

Reviews

[Norma M Sutton]

I think that last line says it all.

[Linear]

Flows like a Rap, great rhymes

[Tina Kline]

No one tells us life will be hard and if they did, when so young we wouldn't believe them. I like this, nice job on keeping the rhyme scheme going all the way through.

[Short.Nerd]

Nice job!

[Goodbye]

It can be like that sometimes - you know better days are to come as we learn, grow, and mature...

[Aven]

I wish I had still lived in ignorant bliss... life used to be so simple...

[Undying Glory]

great work. yes, we all know how difficult life can become. hence that saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade", no? thought this really captured the essence of the whole concept. nicely done!

[TAO]

Our heart is with yours, Ms. Your work, very well done, and an arrow aimed right at the soul.

[Mauricio Montoya]

It be that way sometimes, nice work.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Its always hard to see innocence die. but you have told
this story in such a way that it is bearable to read.
These words are heavy, but written with class.
