From The Start
Photo by Jonathan Borba on Unsplash

A little baby girl was born

Unwanted from the start,

From that fatal birth day

Her life was forever marked.

By Peter Oslanec on Unsplash

She learnt from a very young age

What it was to have to fight,

But things never got any better

Her life was never right.

By DJ Johnson on Unsplash

It didn't take all that long

For her emotions to become confused,

She had so much to give

But her feelings were refused.

By Caleb Woods on Unsplash

She found that day to day life

Was one step forward, five steps back,

And she was forever exhausted

From always being under attack.

By Mahdi Bafande on Unsplash

Well now she's twenty six

And she has no more to give,

Can't someone help her out

Please, she has no will to live.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
