Foreword: This poem is very important to me, because I wrote it for my sister, who was adopted by us after having lived with an abusive family It’s not fair, not fair Not at all; You’ve done nothing wrong The only thing you did Was live. It’s not fair, not fair Not at all; I wish for the same Every time I see it I wish to be there, to defend To defend you from them Who don’t want you To Live I wish for the same Every time I see it I see it the same Every time I see it That terror and pain So clear in your eyes Screaming. Screaming, loud, So loud The screaming in your eyes Deafens to the point The screams from your mouth Are lost, unheard Just as unheard as they were, By the ears of the one who Left you like this Left you like this. For you it was not too late But for some… for some Help never comes… Never comes… They lie all alone, asking What did I do? But they did nothing wrong All they did Was live. It’s not fair, not fair Not at all; I wish for the same Every time I see it I wish to be there, to defend To defend you from them Who don’t want you To Live |

The shy girl who writes like there's no tomorrow.

This poem clearly demonstrates the feelings of the speaker. Great job!

thanks, I'm both happy I made the poem in the first place, and that I could improvise so well (I had one half of a class period to make it) |
