My Destiny

- Well, they tried to deny me The destiny to which I was born They deceived and lied to me Even treated me with scorn? - I was the outcast of the family Born out of wedlock and faith Said I would have no morality So they quietly gave me away - They buried the truth so well The web of deceit was cast Handed me into a life of hell Until the day, I was free at last - Still they pretend I don’t exist I would cause family shame I was not going to be missed They never do speak my name - I cannot truly explain how I feel As I write it down each word Somehow it becomes unreel Yet, the truth must be heard - I will not be denied my destiny I will not remain in the dark I shall pursue my aims endlessly Upon this world, shall I make my mark -

An interesting read and my heart goes out to you. No one should be shamed for being born. We don't ask to be born and we all need love. Keep on trucking as the saying goes. Janet

A masterful piece of writing
If only for you it wasn't so biting
Being born out of wedlock
Is something no one should mock
May God bless and thank you for sharing

There is no shame in being born out of "wedlock"..........but long ago women had shame forced upon them.....good poem..
