Born with a kind heart,
right intensions,
sweet personality,
and a love for knowledge
All you could ever ask for in a little girl,
right?
Blessed with a family
but questions their intentions.
Words hurt, but speak the truth
"I'm smart, you're dumb,
I'm big, you're little,
Im right, you're wrong!"
She wishes for a fairytale life,
like in the books
But happy endings only come after evil
Such a plot twist for this little girl
punished when showing intelligence,
and locked up in rooms lined with nails
Everyone in her life
doubts what she is capable of
Until she reveals
what the negativity has done to her.
Able to manipulate others
but still stuck with a messed up family
Whether its home or school,
there's always someone bringing her down.
There is little kindness left in this crazy world
some embrace it
some hide it,
and others are sweet like honey
Your poem is very well written. The only thing i think you should do is maybe add more allusions so that people know what story you are alluding to.
ReplyDeleteLike lennon said throw more more glimpses of the story your'e alluding to. other than that your'e poem is interesting.
ReplyDeleteGood job Sheryl, I think your poem is very well written. I think you should add more of your personality into it. You take a lot of things from her story but if you add more of how you relate to it, it will make the poem a lot stronger.
