She'd Know How Good She Is

by ABake   Jan 17, 2008


Just look at that beautiful face with such sad eyes,
Other than beauty she has absolutely nothing to show-
I forgot those bruises that she hides under worn clothes
To match her beaten up body she has an identical soul

Oh how low her self esteem is...

Time after time she tells herself before the next bruise,
She'll find the strength, but she can't manage to go;
Strong today but always grows weaker by tomorrow-
She will never tell a single soul, she really loves him...

Her heart belongs to him, no matter how hard the blow-

She has so much talent, the kind that can take her far,
But he kills her confidence by the minute...tick...tick
She gave up trying to fufill her dreams a long time ago;
She'd know how good she is if it wasn't for him.

He strangels her dreams with his anger;

Resentment painfully builds as time slowly passes by,
No longer can she feel the pain, except in her heart...
Which seems to be dying along with her body;
A broken heart, broken bones and a black eye-

She'd know how good she is if it wasn't for him...

[For a contest]

    I really enjoyed this piece, again you have a way with using such deep emotions throughout your pieces. It's quite beautiful.

    I really enjoyed the lines on there own in between stanzas. I don't know if you did this deliberately though read on there own they speak really strongly of the message behind the poem themselves. That was interesting. They were definitly lines which stood out to me. Expecially:

    Her heart belongs to him, no matter how hard the blow-

    &

    He strangels her dreams with his anger;

    I adored them two lines. They were so full and deep which hit my heart.

    Wow, The last stanza. You ended this poem perfectly. The pain and emotion you portrayed has kept me shocked. Sad poems are definitly a favorite of mine and if you can pull them off then you have impressed me.

    Well done this was a greatly written poem which I enjoyed from start until finish. I notice this was written for a contest. Goodluck with that. 5/5 ~Mel

    The title threw me off a bit but the poem was okay.The flow was off but that's really no biggie.The word choice was good though.
