About the Poem

This poem is about woman who was stuck in an abusive relationship. Or at least she thought she was stuck. She is very sad and depressed. She does not want to go on like this. She is very scared that if she leaves she will be seriously hurt. She knows that she can't stay but she does not have the courage to leave.

This poem is very personal to me because it is actually about myself. 		Love Poems

Better Tomorrow
by Amy M. Jones
She can feel the pain
and also the sorrow.
She doesn't want to go on.
So she prays for a better tomorrow.

It's hard for her to cope.
She'd like to runaway.
In her heart she knows
that she can't stay.

You can see the sadness
deep within her eyes.
She would like to stop the madness,
but instead, she just cries.

She prays for strength to move ahead.
To survive another day.
She pleads for the courage to be brave
so she can simply walk away.

"Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give yo rest" (Jesus). I was also going to go away, but Jesus assured me to pray and wait. Today I am glad I waited. She's daily turning into an angel.

this poem touched my heart i am sorry for those children who are being abused even though i am also only a child but at the age of 14 i would like to do something about it and to help. Its a terrible thing being abused by your own parents even though some of us dont like to mension it maybe you can tell someone that you will never meet. will your parent do it again a third n fouth time? i though your dad is supposed to protect you not scare you. Well done for this poem its amazin from sophie xxxx

Have you ever noticed that the poems that are written about sadness are usually written by girls. I am a girl and I understand just how you feel.

I've been wanting to get a hold of Amy to tell her that I wanted to use her poem in a graphic I did. There is no valid email for me to get a hold of her at. So I thought i would post it here. I really hope she doesn't mind with full credits for her poem.
