So many things have happened
So many things I know
So many things still haunt me
From a life not long ago.

Too many rapes and sorrows
So many bitter pains
So many lies and secrets
So much of life is strain.

My past creeps up behind me
Catching me off guard
Memories of such sorrow
Makes each new day so hard.

All my years hold sorrow
So much of it abuse
Sometimes I have to wonder
What the hell’s the use?

Jesus lives in my heart!  He can in yours too!!!

I thought this was good.

I didn't like the repetition of the word "sorrow."

I also didn't like the flip-flop of lines beginning with "so" in the first two stanzas. It worked for the first one, but I thought the reversal in the second stanza threw the rhythm off.

The line "So much of it abuse" also didn't feel right to me.

The rhymes didn't feel forced. Great job there. The rhythm was good aside from what I pointed out.

Great emotion.

I like the way you ended it.

Keep writing,
Alicia
