ALL THE THINGS SHE HAS BEEN (New Poem)


ALL THE THINGS SHE HAS BEEN
Downtrodden
Downhearted
Bearing the load
Down, down that road
The road of sadness
She has seen the worst
Round and round
Up and down
Helter skelter 
All that has melt her
The pain and agony
That threw its worst at her
But what has happened since
She is on her own
She looks to the heavens above
That is full of love for her
Her eyes, her eyes
Feeling wiser
Her self-confidence filling her
Arching away the pains
Arching away for the gains
Exerting, exertion, emotions
Emotions filling her
Tears a flowing
It’s easier now
She is making her own decisions
She is saving herself
Learning to forgive herself
There are times she is confused
Now she is feeling amused
No more bemusement
Down in that basement
The darkest of darkest
Oh she is out in the light
Breathing in the fresh air
Oh she has no care
There is no one making her change
She is doing what she feels
Exploding like a fire on fire
Her passion now out in the open
Her passion to dance and dance
Dance day and night
There were times when there was no understanding
Understanding the truth from lies
She was afraid of letting go
Along time ago
Her dreams shattered
All those dreams that mattered
She needed something to believe in
But here she is letting go
Her fiery passion
Her powder canvas
All the colours of the rainbow
There for her to pick and choose
And dance, dance too
Woman to woman
We know what it is all about!
Keeping holding on to love
That love will get a hold on us
Just like the ballerina
Dancing to love
Dancing to a better future
Oh such memories
Oh such new memories
When you look into her eyes
There is such hope
No more saying “nope”
No more saying “this way”
It is now this way
She is going to make it
There is a look of determination
A determined demonstration
She’ll dance to her own flow
And make a determined “have a go”
With her own confidence
Happy, happy, happily
