Nikiesha Richards Poems

I feel like I am in a bubble
Like I am trapped inside of trouble
Oh! Why don’t things go my way
Better is coming; but it hasn’t today
...

She was the typical woman of the house
Doing her best to please her spouse
Always busy cooking, washing and cleaning
At that time it was that that gave her life meaning
...

I walk the streets holding my head down in shame
My eyes filled up with tears each time I hear your name
Honestly I thought that you just could be the one for me
But now it hurts to know the truth that you could not be
...

With all of me, I loved this man
Did everything I could the best I can
We made a commitment to love for life
He as my husband and me as his wife
...

I want to get out and I don’t know how
This has been going on for a long time now
By your actions and words spoken
My mood is sad and my heart is broken
...

I never thought this day would come
When my feelings for you starts to fade
Time spent away from you is cherished
Without you I can laugh and smile again
...

Morning time the start of a new day
A given chance to see things in a new way
No more tears to stain my face
All sadness is gone without a trace
...

I am tired of running the same race on the same track
Instead of pressing forward, I keep looking back
All who were behind are now in front of me
Oh how I longed to be set free
...

Born to a mother who was a teenager
And a father who to me became a stranger
Lacked self confidence, attained low self esteem
Having a relationship with my father was always my dream
...

Innocent love was within deception
Which resulted in conception
Of a child who was by her father rejected
And wrongfully denied and neglected
...
