Almost a sonnet

sorenbarrett

Born in darkness, you exposed me to light

I was blinded and you helped me to see

For what I believe, you taught me to fight

I was ashamed, you gave me dignity

Tired, and dirty, taken from the ditch

My soul was broken and you mended it

I was oh so poor and you made me rich

Having no hope, you taught me not to quit

Weak in spirit, you built up my soul's grit

I was alone, you gave me company

Being out of place, you helped me to fit

You gave me power to no longer flee

Instead of bad humor, you taught me wit

Lost, now found, you love me for who I'll be

  • Rocky Lagou

    Literally spectacular. I adore this strong bond you're conveying and it could truly feel like all things are possible when you have another who supports you unconditionally. Very well done, this is surely a lovely sonnet.

    Thank you so much Rocky for your encouragement and lovely words. I titled it almost a sonnet because it does not have perfect iambic pentameter

    The kind of love we all desire and should feel.
    I am a loner. Alone in life but i know i have the love of an angel with me always. An angel who loves me for what i am and validates my existence, embraces me in times of stress, lifts me, holds my hand as I write.
