Heart pounding fast
Pumping fluid, burnt red
Thoughts rushing threw minds
Lay there panting in the bed
"Hear it comes!" yelled the doctor
Screams and shouts were heard loud
"Here's your baby, Misses"
"Oh, my love, my baby," mommy vowed
Years passed over like storms
Birthdays dragging along
Every year the same old shit
Boasting, annoying, birthday song
The day she started school
Would devastatingly be her last
With her family of redundant's
She would place them in the past
Mommy auctioned her off
To a man charged with possession
So she could get a pound
Of pure coke, the "CURE" to her depression
Baby walked outside the school searching
To find nothing there to please her
Baby was taken by the man
Only to find her a life in a blurr
Baby never again saw mommy
Baby never knew of love
Baby's' body was found in pieces
Baby's' life, soul, and spirit found above
Baby watches mommy now
Wondering why sh sent her away
Mommys' high on all her drugs
Maybe she'll find out another day
One day Baby wonders
Who was my dear old dad?
Baby asks around in heaven
They tell her he was bad
Baby finds her gloomy answer
She's confused, and she cries
Baby's' daddy was the man that killed her
Baby's' daddy was full of lies
Author notes
I had written this poem earlier, it deals with the way things are at home and the way time goes by so fast, who you are. In the poem Baby cant ever find out who she was supposed to be and daddy is full of lies, mommy is always on drugs and doesnt know who she is, plus she loved and trusted her family and then was betrayed by her only confidants........I like to say that its a mixture of 4, 5, 10, and 2.

this is an interesting comment for a poem, but I feel like the execution is not very good. the flow seems somewhat awkward and the rhyme definately forced. Additionally, I have trouble with the description, which doesnt make it clear exactly when the child dies and who it is communicating or when. The end seems like a plot ploy out of a made for tv drama.
