Emily Clark Poems

a soldiers daughter...

when i was small my daddy went away, he went to a place that even the devil wont show his face.
...

there is a method in my madness, an ending to what i feel, there will be no hurt, it will be a relief for all for me to go, i have been preparing all day, im a drain on my family, on my friends, i need to do this, my head tells me and i have given in
...

I walk the streets to find my peace. i have never really looked around me just gone on with my busy life. now that all has crumbled i actually look for the beauty. I see an ambulance speed by the paramedic working to save a life. I see dirty children crying in the street, the mothers and fathers lying in a heap, passed out in their own oblivion. Not a care for their children, i see the pain an hunger for a life more better, the officials just stand by and watch this injustice go by. I see the filth that people live in and wonder why is it their lazy? is it their depressed? i see the children suffer with bruises for the world to see, they love their parents unconditionally, i see they mask their pain to survive in a world thats so vain, i see they try everything to be perfect for their mummies an daddies, i see starving people with just the clothes on theirs backs i see the humiliation to go begging time and time again, just down on their luck they just need a break from a world full of suffering and hate.

i see violence in the street another kicked of his feet another drunken oblivion, i see flashing lights and handcuffs, blood an tears. i see stumbling an broken glass just over another glass. i see them in the gutter off their head, you dont stop to talk or they will smack you in the head. i see another perso with life in their belly drinking tequilla to numb their pain, why drink the child is innocent? they will just grow up like their mummy an daddy.

little one

sorry little one but i am going away, away to a place where the angels sang my name, for me to come to be at peace, i know your hurtin so bad little one, i know your heart feels as though its crumbling, im sorry but i have to leave this world,
even though you dont think i love you, but i do, i swear id give my soul just to wipe those tears from your eyes and mend your broken heart, i never knew id hurt you so much by my leaving this world forever,
