MY LIFE
I look at my life,
Back, over the years.
What did I do wrong,
That I ended up here?
A childhood, so shattered,
That it never could mend,
But others lived through it,
And bounced back again.
Why was it, that I,
As a child, couldn't see,
That it happened to others,
As well as to me?
Those people I trusted,
For,who else was there?
Unable to help me,
Through their own despair!
Imparting, not wisdom,
Nor love and concern,
But vicious contempt
For the child their hearts
Spurned!
I ran like the wind,
When I saw a way out,
Straight to my beginnings,
To the birth of my doubt.
Ran into the arms,
Which had thrown me away!
Thinking she'd love me,
On this, a new day!
Oh, truth is a killer,
Of hope, spirit, joy!
But still, I survived it,
If just to annoy!
I met, loved and married
The man of my dreams.
Had babies, a future,
The life of a Queen.
But one day I woke up,
And there at my door,
Reality, knocking........
To even the score!
How dare I be happy!
Test destiny, fate?
I'd incurred the wrath
Of the lover of hate!
Satan was laughing,
At me, little fool!
Who thought love was lasting,
Could never be cruel!
He handed me glasses,
To read my own lie,
No body could love me,
No need to ask why!
So, I started running,
He yelled "Never look back!",
But I did, when I stumbled.....
And my shadow was black.
