A test submission taken from a song so it doesn't quite fit in as a straight poem.
This was written as a song but I wanted to get started with something in writing.com so this is a test as much as anything else...


Somewhere, in this town
A little girl is going to drown
As she walks home, torn and battered
Her dreams of love, have all been shattered


But she knows, if she is strong
That these tears of pain, won't last long,
And she can hold her head, hold it high
And knows no man's going to make her cry


Slowly as her eyes do swell
With tears of hate, for that stinking hell
Where the man she loved, had another lover
She's going back, going back to her brother


Her heart is pounding, with mixed emotion
As the naked truth, of his lost devotion
Layed before her, on his satin sheets
And she knows, that was the last time they meet.




Somewhere, in this town
A little girl she lost her man
But she knows, it doesn't really matter
Bruised and busted and her heart is flatter




Cos when she's home, and with her brother
He's the one strong man, just like no other
And he's going to make, the world alright
And he tells her, when, he turns off her light....


He says you, you've got the power within you
You've got the power to win, yeah
You know you're going to shine.


He says you you've got the power within you
You've got the power to win, yeah
So no more crying.
