Broken Angel
Amy M. Kennedy

People laugh at her because she is different... and not exactly like you and me
But they are blinded by ignorance and stupidity... and don't really see
She is so much more than her condition... she has a heart of gold
And the grace and beauty she has... is a wonder for all to behold
Yes she has trouble walking... and it takes her a little longer
However she is much kinder than most... and you can bet abundantly stronger
Never complaining about her life... she carries her held held high
Never allowing others to shatter her dreams...she lifts her chin to the sky
****************************************************************
But now someone has broken, ... this gentle angel from above
And seems nothing can fix it..not even my never-ending love
Who you ask could be so cruel... not her sister or her brother
No in fact its no other... than her very own dear mother
And the rage inside of me... burns threatening to tear me apart
Her mother can't accept who she is... she wants me out of her heart
So now my angel of a butterfly... lies broken and tattered
And all my dreams of the future... completely torn and shattered
*****************************************************************
I hold onto the last ray of hope I have... a small light at the very end
And I turn to my angel in heaven... my mom, my very best friend
Did I cause all this pain... am I the one whose to blame
Hard to see through the forest...and I don't know if I'll ever be the same
So I turn my strength to the Lord... and I pray to the sky
Please let this love be enough... and stop these painful questions of why

Aimie, another amazingly well written poem, you surely have a gift. As is love, a gift beyond price, so take care of the gift, and pass it on. My mum, (dippy though she was) always said, even if someone hurts you, give them back love, because they certainly need it. Take your strength, for you have it in abundance, and use it to hold tight to your love. Take care

~~~ Amy ~~~
You have a very loving heart, and it shows in this wonderful poem that you wrote so well. I can tell that you harbour no anger, but that you are compassionate and giving.
It's a pleasure to know you, my friend!  


Follow your dream!

What an incredibly emotional read Amy ... so many thoughts, so many questions, very well penned. Who can say why hearts come together, be it ecstasy or agony at times, they become intertwined nonetheless. Try though we might for answers, take heart that it is never anyone's blame.

Best wishes,
/Kit

you already know my feelings on this as well
Am, possesive, controling love is never
healthy or encouraging and nothing you have done caused this...
Im quite sure this has always been a problem with this woman ...
dont take the blame for her weaknesses ... but if her selfishness is hurting and breaking your "angels" spirit...
then she needs to gotten out of the situation.
again.. as i have said before..
you two are NOT children ...
together you are strong ...
take care of each other
love ya
me

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.
