My Story

by SamiJo   Jul 30, 2004


I don't have a story like Sleeping Beauty
or even like Cinderella
But when I have a daughter of my own
I've got many stories to tell her.
I'll tell her of my journeys
Of being scared and running away,
How I learned that wasnt the answer
How hard I had to pray.
I'll tell her of my heartbreaks
and of my first real love.
How much I love her daddy
He must've been sent from above.
I refuse to give her the life I had
Though I really shouldnt complain
I got everything I ever asked for
Especially the day she came.
I let myself get too far under
Drowned in foolish depressions
Too many things I longed to know
Too many unanswered questions.
One day when I have my little girl
I'll look her in the eyes
I'll tell her of my many ventures
and of my many lies
I'll let her know that I'll be here
Just like my mother tried to be
But when she pushes me away
I will try to make her see.
It isnt as easy in this world
as I swore I could make it
All the times I felt like I was happy
All the times I had to fake it
I make a vow right here today
that when my little girl is here
I will sit her down one day
and tell her of my fears...

    That is great. I think the beginning of your poem is a bit bumpy, the first rhyme didn't work out great, it's a bit of a slant (Cinderella/her) although those mice in that movie called her something like Cinderelly, so I guess Cindereller wouldn't sound too crazy :-P. Raising a child would be really difficult, and exposing yourself to someone who needs you to be strong is scary too, but I think that is the right thing to do as well.
