I Have Nothing Left To Give Poem by Kathryn BecknerOssman

I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE
BY: Kathryn O.

I have nothing left to give
I only wanted to live
The rest of my life in peace
I wanted the lies to cease
For all my dignity and pride
No one could abide
The decency to let me be
Finally I am free

Nothing more can be said
The issue of boys in my bed
Once the lie was spoken
I became a token
Of jokes and mud slinging
To my sanity I was clinging

I alone had to bare
The evil and taunting stare
Of those that accused me
Those that abused me
Taking MY life for granted
You’re a pedophile they chanted
Why won’t you just let me be?
What your selling is not ME!

You wanted my life an open book
You took and took and took
Never getting a moments peace
Now my crying has ceased
Your looking for answers to why I died
Now maybe those will tell why they lied

God saw I was tired and said come with me
Here in Heaven is where I want you to be
