Past Aside

When a girl never seduced
Called the loner, my self-esteem reduced

Always left aside to watch and weep
Can't count how many times I cried myself to sleep

Without knowing, I became easy
For every man who was far too cheesy

Felt happy at night when between ones sheets
Sad the next day, when back in the streets

Something had to happen, then and fast
I had to make this present my shameful past

Though I can't change the reputation that's stained
I changed my life and my pride was regained

    I get why you think the rhymes are a bit contrived. Since English is not my mother tongue, neither a language I use every day, it's a bit hard for me to find new words that are less common. I'm working on expanding my vocabulary, but until then I'm a bit forced to use the words I know.

    Not too sure about this, the motives are fine, as is the moral position at the end, but some of the rhymes are very
    heavy and contrived, easy and cheesy tend a bit to the comic, or is it so intended? and I am misreading this...

    Those who have chosen the wrong path, can change themselves very easily, if they have the will power, though their stained reputation is hard to be changed. Ultimately people may forgive and forget, even a hooker had been blessed as a saint in the History of Christian Saints which I used to hear during our prayer times in my school days year after year.

    Thank you Kelly Seale. It's not necessarily a poem about my life, but I had some emotions I had to get rid of and what's a better way to do it than by writing? I hope my poem inspires people though, because I thing a lot of young girls get used to such a lifestyle too fast and I want them to know that there's a way out.

    This is an amazing write! Filled with regret, yet self-awareness. I admire your courage to face your demons and devils, your punisher and rewards. Great Ink Charlotte!
