Beaten and raped <br />Disowned and thrown out <br />Spit upon and hated <br />Poor child <br />Grown into a poor woman <br />Shes never spiteful or angry <br />She vows to not be like those <br />Who have caused her pain <br />She loves and never hates <br />She'll never be like she vows <br />She will be strong but silent <br />Beautiful but distant <br />She will be strong on her own <br />She needs no one <br />But will help all <br />Poor woman <br />Poor child <br />Alone in the world <br />Striving to help everyone <br />To make them all happy <br />But what of her? <br />What happens to her happiness <br />Her joy? <br />Her passion? <br />Her sense of peace? <br />Thrown away for the sake of a stranger <br />Who may never recall her name <br />Who wont ever thank her or remeber her kindness <br />Praised be that woman <br />The poor woman <br />Poor child<br /><br />Janelle Morehart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poor-woman-poor-child/
