Take one good look at me now, <br />ain't I the same girl that use to question her existence. <br /> <br />The same girl you met at the hospital bed, <br />lying half dead. <br />crack and pot ruined by all. <br /> <br />People with motives, <br />took my all. <br />My empty bowl of life hung by a thread, <br />still kicked in the guts, <br />and left me to die. <br /> <br />Take one look at me now, <br />who do you see? <br />not a struggling girl at the age of thirteen. <br /> <br />If it was up to you i would be dead, <br />but nurtured from extinction, <br />now i stand in front of you head to head. <br /> <br />take a look at this girl now, <br />iam not just an empty vase. <br />i rear beautiful flowers now and give them life. <br /> <br />look me in the eye, <br />and tell me what you took? <br /> <br />You took nothing, <br />I gave my all. <br />Take a look at me now. <br />I stare at your face, <br />All you could take, <br />now its my turn. <br />So you take a look at me now, <br />with your empty face, <br />and just sit there and count your days <br /> <br />Its my turn now, <br />so take a look at me now.<br /><br />Chaya Mc Carthy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-a-look-at-me-now/
