Assignment #18: My Poem

I went from bottles to make-up,

from barbies to boys.

I went on my own and

left all my toys.

From happy to sad,

from a life of depression

I wish i never had.

From joy to tears,

with fears from over

the years.

From laughter,

from crying,

from hurting,

from smiling.

From love to pain

and watching the love

drip away like rain.

Looking for comfort,

but finding no one.

I thought that I did,

but lost him through things

that I've done.

From scars to sorrows,

from yesterday's to tomorrow's.

From broken promises that

I couldn't keep.

From crying all night

and finding no sleep.

From night to day,

it's faded away,

and now I've moved on and

gone another way.

I've learned to make the

most of things,

even from where I came from

and things that life brings.
