I spend alot of time writing poems, telling my story <br />Most are kind of sad, doesn't offer much glory <br />My best friend is my paper and my pen <br />It brings me back to places I have been <br />Some hold sorrow, some hold cheer <br />Some hold memories, that are very dear <br />In some I write about great pain <br />But most of all, I don't write in vain <br />If one of my poems can touch your heart <br />Then, I consider my writing some kind of art <br />I would like to touch, the lives that have been hurt <br />Want everyone to know that they must stay alert <br />Pain and fear isn't a choice for many <br />In all my years, I've sure had plenty <br />So if my words can help you heal <br />Maybe my new life, you can feel <br />Don't pity me, because I've been made whole <br />I've taken back my life that other's stole!<br /><br />Donna Nimmo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/donna-s-story/
