DONT ROUGH ME UP
IM ONLY SKIN AND BONE
HAVE YOU FORGOT
IM ALL ALONE

YOU SEE AN OLD WOMAN
I SEE ME
YOU WILL HURT ME
AND NEVER EVEN SEE

YOU PUSH ME BACK
AND WASH MY FACE
AND LEAVE MY HONOUR
WITHOUT A TRACE

OH YOUNG LADY
YOU KNOW ITS TRUE
DONT LEAVE ME HERE
TO GET BLUE

TREAT ME KINDLY
AS IF I WAS YOU
YOU NEVER KNOW
WHEN THAT WILL BE TRUE.

I appreciate the sentiment here, but I don't know that this is the right group for this poem.

I don't care how you type in this group. I started it and it is meant to be for those of us who have a liking for pink. I LOVE PINK! So do you. I encourage self-expression not hinder it. If this is how you choose to write, I say "ROCK ON!" :P
