I Am A Woman With A Poetic Hand
Cast me down not like a clown
don't shame my pains that I write down
Cast me not down in this old town of haters
don't call me names out of a haters mouth
Just watch one day you will see me fly
high in the sky like a white dove
My heart is loyal and true
I am a woman with a poetess's hand
with an uncapped pen in my hand
with dark bleeding Ink
that writes night and day
My poetic heart knows love
knows much pain
the windows of my eye hold memories
some good and bad
I am the builder of my own walls
the footsteps I had walked
the words I hold in my heart I write
I am a beautiful poetess
in an old beaten downtown
I walk around with haters eyes
looking me up and down
calling me all kinds of names of hate
but I will never let them take away my faith
or my poetess mind
I will always have a light on in the night
where it is I write
I will always have a word to share
to the readers that care.
