She grew up feeling that she didn't fit in;
like her life was a payback for some kind of sin.

The acceptance she longed for was not found at home,
and therefore the "good girl" started to roam.

She searched for love of any kind
and was eager to please anyone she could find.

She found herself being used by men,
and where love was concerned she never did win.

She's been battered and bruised and tossed around;
more than once her heart has been dashed to the ground.

Though she feels like a fighter backed against the ropes,
a dear and special friend has convinced her to find hope.

Hope that the world will treat her right,
strength to make her future bright.

this is excellent...great flow and rhyme..with emotions well expressed..this speaks of feelings that "hit close to home".
nice piece of work here.
take care, janet marie

 Now for me some words come easy...
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
You never knew what I loved in you--
I don't know what you loved in me...
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be...
How long have I been sleeping-
How long have I been drifting alone through the night...
How long have I've dreaming I could make it right...
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need...
Jackson Browne

You've turned the corner with class Freckles
You've bared your soul
And shared your pain for all to see
If I can help
Please call on me.

You deserve hope...and love of ones self is the first step...You are lucky to have such a friend...

I hope you can leave those "ropes" far behind and find the happiness and love you deserve...


 Freedom of expression is the watch word...

Janet Marie.....thanks for the kind words and the support; I'll be looking for your work.

Twinsgd.....as always--THANKS!!  (You KNOW I'll be calling on you!)

Breathe.......thank you too for the kind words and the support.  I am indeed lucky to have such a friend, would that everyone could say that they have even one as half as loyal as he is.
