No arms to hold me when I cry No lips to scold me when I lie No one to reach out when I sigh I guess that is the reason why I am no one's child No yielding of my heart in trust No forgiveness and I must Be bad, to suffer father's lust Mem'ries cut like sculptured bust Because I'm no one's child No fond and joyful times for me No place for childhood do I see; But pain and guilt and misery Are too full cups of bile to me; For I am no one's child All my guilt and pain and sin Are evidenced in my suffering Now I find it hard to grin It seems as if I never win When I am no one's child Relationships have all gone bad Loving always makes me sad And they think that I've gone mad From darkest history I've had Being no one's child How much I want to grow and fly Reach the stars touch the sky Instead, remember days gone by When no one held me close to cry; That's why I'm no-one's child. Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

We are all children of God. Whomever, or however we may picture a "Supreme Being", is where the controversy comes in. lol "Charles Darwin said, "God created man in his own image, and man being a gentleman, returned the compliment." Hope this cheers you up a little. Sounds like you deserve some laughter. Thanks for the poignant read. "I hate quotes, they suck!" I.G.

I also lived every word of this sooo sad poem. Sweetie, you are not alone. Your poems are a blessing to write the hurt and send it away. I did not have a childhood, I was too busy trying not to be hurt. Red |

I also feel like my past somehow is still affecting me...and it probably has helped to shape my personality...but still I have hope that I control my destiny and not the thoughts of my past...James |

Sven answered it perfectly exactly as I would have. I'll quote a Jim Morrison/Doors song "You're not your Mother's or you're father's child, you're OUR child" to finish it, "A Passion's Child". We cannot hold you physically but we sure as hell can emotionally... *hugs*. You know I have a *hug* for you each day hon.. Isis *War produces one thing - Cemetaries.

felt this way many times in my younger years. It hurts like hell, I know. This was a wonderful expression what too many children, teens, anybody, really feels like at times. With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. |

Jennis, it's hard to write, sometimes it's harder not to write, so I will continue as long as the words leak out. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
