Walking On Broken Glass

Walking On Broken Glass

A Poem by Tasha
"

Just popped into my head. About forced marriage.

"
Daddy lost the bet,
The bet between another dad
Desperately trying to find a wife for his son
Daddy lost the bet,
He won some money
But he lost me
Because now I'm marrying a man
I just met,
And don't even know
Apparently I'm marrying into royalty
But daddy is very royal himself
I'm walking on broken glass
Trying to convince myself that
Daddy did the best for his little girl
But this guy,
This guy is the devil
He shows no love
He only shows his lustful eye
Today's the day
The day I give everything away,
The day everything is taken away from me
All because of a stupid bet
Why am I the grand prize
I should have a say in this,
But I guess I don't
I walk on broken glass,
Pour chemicals on myself
To look less attractive,
Maybe that will turn him off
No,
He looks at me and says
"From now on you will forever be my biggest b***h"


Thanks a lot daddy..

It's quite good. I'm a total Nazi on spelling so I will point out "Poor chemicals on myself" It's pour (:
Not trying to sound mean really. But it is a good write and on a very good subject. Giving away your child. it's almost like slavery, but not quite. You did a good job in catching the emotions that the girl feels. It's almost like you are the girl. It shows her opinion clearly.

Actually I like this alot. To me it says how some people feel when they are forced into an arranged marriage where there is no love just lust. It speaks loud. Very good work :3
