Poem # 25 – Loop Poem

November 8, 2009 siverlingkimberlyrqyn

Guidance

My life was miserable

Miserable from the years of abuse I received.

Received only because I was a girl, Celie

Celie, the ruined child.

My life was miserable

Miserable from all the criticism I received

Received only because I was a woman

A woman with the voice of soul, Avery.

Meeting Celie changed my life,

A life I felt was worthless.

Worthless like the trash that I am,

Am not anymore.

Meeting Shug Avery changed my life,

A life I thought was over long ago.

Long ago I forgot who I was,

Was that same beautiful girl that Shug said.
