POEM STARTER
Submitted by Feywild
Write a poem on the theme of sacrifices.
My Body My Sacrifice
Starting to end
Ending to start
Forever in a loop
I cannot escape
Forgive me mom
Forgive me dad
Your daughter is not
The one you wished
I lose and I cry
I lose and I scream
Yet I will not relent
A sacrifice I must give
So I keep going
My body mine to use
So I continue to abuse
My body is a battering ram
I push and push
Never relenting
I will burn my body for it all
Yet it is never enough
Screaming and losing
I cannot escape
Forgive me father
I am not the kid you wanted
Bruises of my past abuse
Scars across my arms
I will give anything to win
So call me callous
Call me weak
I will not relent
Till I bleed gold
For that is my hearts pursuit
Forgive me mother
I am not the girl you raised
Abusing to live
Living to abuse
I will not stop
For to stop is to give up
And we both know
I am to stubborn
To live without pain
So I give to take
And I take to give
My sacrifice will not relent
For living without pain
Is torture on its own
So I fight and I sacrifice
My body is mine to contort
Forgive me
I am not the girl I should be
No
I am the girl I was raised to be
So I scarifice to live
For living without pain
Is a life in anguish
