I am from it all

by Momma   Mar 26, 2008


I am from a world of long lost dreams
a home where my hopes were ripped at the seams
i am from the pain of a little girl
who hadn't yet found her place in this world
i am from the darkness and tears on my face
and all the betrayal i could never erase
i am from all the screams and the fights
that lasted all day and into the nights
i am from the anger in my family's eyes
i am from it all, especially the lies

i am from a place full of devastation and pain
where everyone i met was selfish and vain
i am from harsh laughter and strange looks
and from keeping my nose buried in books
i am from tears i never wept
and all of the memories i never kept
i am from moving again and again
i am from it all, especially the sin

i am from a man who laid down his life
from all of the laughter and all of the strife
i am form the smile of a new little girl
that i can help to find a place in this world
i am from a family and a good friend
that helped heal the wounds that i could mend
i am from a new dream I've placed in my mind
from all that is good and all that is kind
i am from the joy and happiness of others
from husbands and wives to fathers and mothers
i am from a kiss and an i love you
i am from it all, especially the new

    You did a really great job making sure the I am from didn't get old :) it sounded great every time :) The flow was awesome, it read very well, almost like it had a rhythm, like a song.

    the only part I would try to fix was the end of the second stanza:
    "i am from moving again and again
    i am from it all, especially the sin"

    everything else rhymed and it made me stop for a minute cause I thought i'd read it wrong. besides that it kept me almost entranced :) great job

    5/5

    I think this is very good, it reflects a life, longer lived than yours, which is sad and touching too, well done, you have talent, xp
