Ghetto Girl Poem by cecil hickman

Ghetto Girl

Rating: 5.0


Get me, from the ghetto, I say.
Here I wish, like in Alice’s day.
Emergent, is my complete plea.
Take me away, please set me free.
Tears have been wiped; so dry.
Only my mind; will not say goodbye.

Growing up here, I must shun.
I have no dreams, left but one.
Reel me into that bubble to float.
Let me share outside, what I tote.

Oh I can just feel the pain coming from this poor girl and I feel it hard. I pray for all ghetto people, I hurt for them and I feel for them. You portrayed this picture very clearly Cecil, excellent work. Melvina
