If only I could remember
By Dawn Norris
If only I could remember
If only I could recall
What happened to me?
When I was small
I close my eyes
To bring back the past
But nothing comes to me
Nothing seems to last
The memories have all gone
It’s all of a blank
What did really happen?
When I lived in sandbank
I tried to please them
But nothing ever worked
They would not listen
When I tried to talk
I really did my best
While I studied at school
But all they said to me
Was girl you’re a fool
I put on clothes
I’d try to dress smart
My mother used to say
You look like a tart
I really don’t know
Why my parents hate me
I did nothing wrong
To turn them against me
Comments
I really like this poem and it has sent
a feeling to my heart and touch it deeply
I think the introspectiveness of this work is brave and
probably appeals to everyone at some level
Very basic and true. Everyone at
some level must respond to this, but many in same situation relate
specifically. Brave words.
