I was wise in
My own eyes.
Yes, I felled
For This guy's lies.

All I ever wanted
Was to be his heart's beat.
But all he ever gave me, was
His lust in his car's back seat.

Though many months have gone by
And the stares have been long,
I will pick myself up
And I will go on.

Though seas have
Roared against me,
And currents have
Been very strong,
I will pick myself up
And I will go on.

Though my plans
Are put on hold,
And the bridge
Temporarily drawn,
I will pick myself up
And I will go on.

Sorrows may be many
For me and my child,
But my trust is in God,
My hope is not gone.
I will pick myself up
And I will go on.

For others like me,
Our baby is our song.
We may have to cry sometimes
But Jesus is our dawn.
We must pick ourselves up
We must go on.

O Morning...wrap yourself around me today. Let me experience the peace I see in you.

This is such an inspiring poem! You've taken a bad situation and turned it completely around. I'm so glad that you see things this way, and you are right, Jesus will always help you! Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

This is really well written. I'd like to commend you on how you introduced the repitition a few stanzas inward, I thought that was very creative and it complimented the poem a great deal.
Very nice work.

I am not a Goddy person by any means. but this piece is very uplifting. I'm glad that you decided to keep your child. Way to look at the brighter side of things well written this is very much so going in my library to be looked at on days where i'm feeling down.
