Damsel In Distress

What is the world, But an oyster to you? What are other people, If not aids to help you What purpose do you serve? What do you know how to do? Nothing. Nothing at all But sit, waiting for someone to save you. You poor damsel Always in distress I wish I could respect you But you're just too helpless Other people use their legs, Their feet, and their brain You know one day, You should do the same But you would rather be a burden It really is a shame I think you like to struggle You want life to be a pain You poor damsel Always in distress I wish I could respect you But you're just too helpless Things could be better If you would at least try But that means you actually have to do something, You prefer to just cry Cry and complain Complain, moan and sigh "World look at me, please! Or else I'll die" You poor damsel Always in distress I wish I could respect you But you're just too helpless One day I pray you learn To do things by yourself Instead of choosing not to move Without the assistance of someone else One day no one will be there To hear you when you call And the world won't stop To brace your fake fall You poor damsel Always in distress I wish I could respect you But you're just too helpless

Ashley,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
