Two days after Madison passed away, I found some of the poems and songs that she had written over the years. They are beautiful, haunting, prophetic and sad. It was obvious that she mostly wrote when she was sad which makes me glad that I only found about 25 not 250. I wanted to share her beautiful poems with everyone who loved her, so I had my mission. I decided just days after finding the first few poems that I would find them all and create a book called Madison’s Gift. The process of reading these poems was at times gut wrenching, but I typed them all out and have started the process of getting them published. I’d like to share some of her poems here. I’ll be posting them one at a time. I hope you like them.
This is my Life
My life can be unbearable and in no way am I normal. I’m just a girl living in a cruel vindictive world. It hurts to be so strong; sometimes my pain feels like I won’t survive. It feels wrong to be so young with so much strife, but that, that is my life.
No one knows the pain inside, I feel like no one cares, and more than anything I hate when people stare. They look at me with sorrow, there’s pity in their eyes, and what I want to say to them I cover with a smile. It hurts to be so strong; sometimes my pain feels like I won’t survive. It feels wrong to be so young with so much strife, but that, that is my life.
Pain will never leave us, not until we die. With out pain there would be no love or life. Don’t ever let it consume you. Don’t let your pain rule you. Yes it’s hard to be so strong sometimes, but don’t let it keep you from living your life! Yes I know it’s wrong and I know it’s unfair and I know it’s a huge burden to bear.
I know this is true, trust me I know it’s not fair. Just don’t let it rule you, don’t you ever let it consume you, ‘cause this is not my life. No this won’t be my life.
