Some feel the rain others just get wet


She's an unmarried housewife
Working like a slave
Because her man wanted freedom
Oh how he would have stayed
But watching their child grow
Wasn't a good enough reason
But when things didn't go right
He left, she never thought that
Her mr right would of up and left
But that's life she deals with it well
That's what falling in love does
And boy, she fell.
She just wishes she fell for another
The work hard look after his own
Kinda brother
One who had a father and knew
How to be a father
A certified M.A.N that would
Stick by her from beginning
To end
But that wasn't her ending
I guess it was too much to
Ask for depending,
On how your life is destined to be.
Cinderella, snow white and Rapunzel all had a man to save them
But she had to save herself
And Jerome from the corner
Couldn't help,
He spits game and promises
He'll make her his queen
But that doesn't sound as good
As it seems
She just wants love.
From her child she receives it
But from a man she wants to believe it
To her, I say love is true
And it is out there waiting for you
I hope she learns to love again
And has a happy ending that will
never end.

"Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel? She is kind and very beautiful. But she can be so cruel and it comes so suddenly and such birds that fly, dipping and hunting, with their small sad voices are made too delicately for the sea." -Ernest Hemingway from "The Old Man and the Sea"

You're welocme, I'm so glad I could be of help!

I don't know whether or not you care about my random opinion, but if you want some input, which I know I always do, feel free to take it, it's up to you. I just wanted to say that I really liked your poem, and I thought it was original and interesting subject matter. I would definitely suggest putting work into condensing it, there are a lot of repetitive lines, as well as being more precise with your word choice. I often got the impression that in your need for a rhyme scheme (which was often shaky) you lost some meaning. I would either tighten that up so it's more precise, or take out the rhyme althogether. What the rhyme does for the piece is give it a rather light, bouncing rhythm and tone, which combats the subject matter slightly. I like the slight irony that brings, but that comes down to what you really want the piece to convey and your intentions/meaning etc. Overall I think it needs to be more precise, clean, clear, and condensed. Make sure every word is there for a reason. Hope this was helpful! Feel free to give me some feedback on my work if you have time/desire for that. If not that's fine too! Keep writing!
