Shilesha Johnson Poems

Born into this world feeling rejected
feeling as if she was another rejection
feeling alone and competely out of place
had to make a name in this world
...

you didn't have to give me a better life
you didn't have to come to my rescue
but you did and you healed the hurt I had inside
it was a fight,
...

I'm waiting to understand
what it is that I did
waiting to understand
why you even had kids
...

you may not love me like u did
you may not ever want another kiss
i may not any longer be the one you want to still build a life with
but let me tell you this...
...

I try to be the bigger person but I can only take so much
Inside;
my heart’s filled with lots of love
You have to do me dirty for me to truly say I hate you
...

I havent seen you in so long it hurts
you used to be the little one that got on my nerves
the little one that followed me around
but the little one that never kept me down
...

What hurts me inside isn't so much what I've gone through
It's more the fact that those who made me cry
were the ones I never expected to
The one's I've trusted with everything I had
...

I know that I have to move ahead
I also knwo that I can only do that with you gone
and despite what you have said
we both know that you've done wrong
...

When I heard what I did about you
All I could do
Was hope that it wasn’t true
And though part of me believed it
...

I want to experience a love like yours
A hand that reaches out to catch me
Before I hit the floor
A love that when faced can triumph
...
