[bodytext] => Now I lay me down to sleep As the ambulance roars down the street My mother prayed my promise was something I could keep I told her I’d never run the streets again as long as I live And that my, “former life”, was something I’d give Up, until my past came back to haunt me He’d put me on the streets and flaunt me To whoever paid top dollar Oh, how I would scream and holler On the inside I just wanted my father But he didn’t want me So I guess that’s why he left me Sometimes I wish my mom would have aborted Instead she kept me He was the closest thing to a father I had He always made sure I never felt sad But I did feel sad Every time those men laid me down on the bed Every time I saw my reflection I wish I was dead I couldn’t take it anymore Crying every night on the floor Hoping my dad would come through the door And save me like he was supposed to Take me from this life I was exposed to But weeks became months And months became years Waiting for him to wipe away my tears But tomorrow never came So now I lye here Staring in the air Singing my final prayer: “Now I lay me down to sleep” “I pray the Lord my soul to keep” “If I should die before I wake” “I pray the Lord my soul to take” [comments] => 2 [counter] => 170 [topic] => 43 [informant] => thewordzwithin [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
