My name is Brittney (kind of long&&very person)

My name is Brittney
I have blonde hair
And intriguing eyes

That show just as much intellect

(as painful memories)

 

My name is Brittney

And though I am still young

I have many experiences

That many, young and old

(could never forget)

 

My name is Brittney

I am an average heighth

With average features

And a lovely vocabulary

(that is used as verbal assault)

 

My name is Brittney

I am the product

Of a screwed up marriage

Of screwed up people

(and I have screwed up credentials)

My name is Teresa

I have brown hair

and intriguing eyes

That have know many sorrows

(in the four decades i have lived)

 

My name is Teresa

I have a daily battle

Only the crusade is personal

I must save my daughter

(from very far away)

 

My name is Teresa

I fear my divorce

Is the reason my daughter is dying

Dying from her own troubles

(the ones she is causing for herself)

 

My name is Teresa

I am not very tall

And kind of plump

Is that why my husband left me

(and my children; too young to understand)

My name is Matthew

I have brown hair

And intriguing eyes

That show nothing

(as that is what i want)

 

My name is Matthew 

I drink too much

For my own damn good

I want no one to be concerned

(or so i like people to believe) 

 

My name is Matthew

No one really knows me

Or at least thats the observations

That every one has made

 

My name is Matthew

I am of average heighth 

I stand with my eyes cast down

Afraid to feel

(at least in public)

 

---stop--- 

 

My name is Robert

I have brown hair

And eyes that are dark

They scare little children

(and my own as well)

 

 

My name is Robert 

I have ditched an old marriage

And old children

For a new wife & kids

(but this might fail too) 

 

My name is Robert

I can no longer say anymore

For my oldest daughter is writing this

And i fear, she knows little about me

 

(all is well, as she refuses to see me)

 

---stop---

    Wow. This is a completely different idea from anything else I've seen. I like how you show everyone's view on the same living conditions, and how they're all different and specific to the person.

    wow! I can't believe I missed this one...I'm so sorry I never read it. but better late than never, right?

    anyways, I like how you split it up so that every person is talking. it's amazing. I'm sorry for the troubles you have gone through, but it has helped you come up with some amazing poetry! keep writing!
