She Didn't Have A Name Poem by Kevin Patrick II
She Didn't Have A Name
Her daddy made a living in the pill game
Her mommy held down the family stash
They had a little kingdom in the St James
Where nobody could see her crash
She tried to cry but they said she had to lie
and play the game which left her feeling shame
they fed her diamonds that tasted just like ash
then called her princess but she didn't have a name
She didn't have a name
For the rose that grew,
beneath the shadow of a sun
Was heard to scream
within the silence of her soul
Where nobody could see
The nightmares she had become
A fragile mirror
That was out of her control
Designed sacrifice, to make your pleasant life
Crowned as a Bovine without assigning blame
Promises of castles but they were made of thorns
then called her princess but she didn't have a name
No, She didn't have a name
Such a heart-wrenching poem! The imagery is hauntingly profound. The repetition of the title's words makes her and the poem hard to forget!
I Pray she May have found healthy escape and true beauty within herself! ....
Ever so sorrowful! .. You can feel the anguish and feelings of being trapped and hopeless! .. Powerfully shared! .. Endless 10'S And Stars! ..+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Excellently written! .. You can feel the pain and heartache in each line! ..
I concur the wonderful comments of our esteemed Poet, Richard, the recurring lines and the title created a vivid depiction of a family in distress. Powerfully expressed and presented.
I can truly feel the nightmare that the child experienced in this deeply poignant and harrowing poem. So traumatic that could define the entire life of the child. You expressed in detail this horrifying / deplorable condition of a family.
