Ok, you all inspired me to write a poem. I wrote it today about my life growing up

Question

I grew up in total shame.

All I had was, my parents to blame.

Torn children with no direction

The perfect brew for imperfection.

The shameful life I had to live

Unforgiving world, to a white trash kid.

No one can see through my eyes

The pain that boils in this heart of mine.

Never understood, never taught

The real meaning of love was never a thought.

Kicked to the curb, like unwanted plague

Nothing to give to a white trash kid.

Can’t run from hunger, can’t hide from thirst.

Life with no foundation, Life at it’s worst.

Now that I’m older with kids of my own,

What do I do, to change what is sown.

A child doesn’t deserve a meaningless life.

Love can be shared, lives can be bright.

Love with your heart and all you can spare.

Give with no thought, what returns will be there.

You can make fun as you always did.

But, you can’t kill the spirit of this white trash kid.

Answer 1

That is a beautiful poem you wrote

it talks about the different emotions

you went through in life.

Judging by the first few lines

You were abandoned by your parents

Struggles because there was no escape,

there was no direction

to help you to understand things like love.

You have kids of your own

show them the love you didn't have when

you were younger.

In other words set an example

be there when they need you.

Love is:

Love is about sharing

as well as to care

Love is teaching right from wrong

Love is about feeling like you belong

Its also about having happiness

Teaching about forgiveness

Love is about showing it

so another person knows what its about.

  

Answer 2

|Okay, there was no question.  That is a good poem. And I think it's really gutsy to put it out there like this.  One of the goals in life seems to be to make things better, for ourselves, for our kids.  Sounds like you're working on it.  Good luck.
