Amanda's poem

This was written by my fifteen year old daughter, Amanda. It's about the situation she just left at her dad's. I had no idea she felt this way, or that she had the talent to express it so eloquently!!!


You tried and tried to weaken me,
you thought that i would fall.
You didn't think that you would lose,
but you weren't right at all.
You tried to take away my life
by making me become,
a person that has nothing left,
a person who is numb.
You actually thought that you could win,
and you almost did.
You were close until the very end
when i began to see,
that no matter what i did or tried ,
you would never trust me .
And so I knew just what to do,
I set out on my own.
You had no idea that i would leave,
you didn't have the slightest clue.
You didn't know that i could be,
much happier than you.
You'll try to tear my soul apart,
yet you will never win.
Because i know with all my heart
that i'm not giving in.

I am currently Proud
I am listening to my child's hidden music.
