This lady drug up her last ounce of self respect She looked in the mirror one day, and began to circumspect She knew all along what she had inside to give a man But no one would take the "real" gift from her outstretched hand So she grabbed herself up by her boot straps, and is a walkin She won't look back now, no matter who is a talkin Her heart is going to get free from this pain she's felt so deep She is gonna cash in her cards, and get rid of the creep She is gonna hold her head high and walk tall And never let another take her down again to fall This woman is riding with the wind to her back And givin all who seek her, a royal heart attack! She will look different when all is said and done She is going to be the woman, who has finally won! For she finally believed in herself, even though no one else would She should of done this a long time ago, like she knew she could So don't look for her gift of love now, cause it ain't there Don't even try to cast her a glance, or a stare! She won't be had again, or let any lovers be Cause she has been cast, into the cold stormy sea Where all is forgotten of her dark and foreboding past She is finally resting......THIS LADY is free at last!

Freedom is an Illusion, the real chains in life is to walk alone. love the work kid. Joel. I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Uh, I prefer freedom that doesn't leave the lips so cold and clammy... Just my sadistic senses of humor there, hope you don't mind. In all seriousness, this was an excellent poem. I have felt the helplessness and despair this poem seems to reflect so aptly. Good job. Michael |

Wow Joel.....how true your statement is and eye opening! Thanks for the insight and for commenting on the work. And Michael.....well at times we all can feel the cold wind a blowin!!!! I seem to understand and have your same sense of humor (which gets me in trouble I might add). Thanks for commenting, I have enjoyed your poems so many times and they have really spoken to me. I am kind of new here and really have not dipped too much into responding to others poems yet, sort of still lurking about how that is done here! |
