Tenderly she weeps alone for a while
After the birth of her tiny child
But the shadows appear before her
As weary smiles haunt her
The pain of those deep memories
The beating and the rape before her she sees
The brutal attack upon her flesh
Unable to tell any one or confess
Violating her inner soul
Holding her words a secret untold
Opening the anguished from deep within
The unhealed wounds felt again
Suddenly her child starts to cry
And she wipes away the tears from her eye
The shadows slowly fade away
As the memories seem to wash away
Love for her child keeps the shadows abay
Breathing in finely a new day
Tenderly she weeps alone for a while
After the birth of her tiny child
Please tell me what you think

This is sad...but has a reasonably good ending. I can relate to this personally, I was adopted...bad history. But just the ending of your poem gave me a reason to actually be grateful for who I turned out to be. Thank you. Great write.
