As young girl of eighteen, a counselor once said to me,
“Don’t worry about college. You’re going to get married”. So married I was- at the age of 20 Trophy wife, mind forgotten, breeder and considered a bargain. I grew from a child- my husband old, Trust me when I say his temper not mild Day after day his harsh words would scold… No loving arms wrapped around me with care, with one-way opinions- his heart was too cold. Strength enveloped me- eighteen years later And moved on I did, self-esteem had grown stronger Grown from a kid, material things mattered no longer Divorced him I did- before I became the hater Back to school is where I went I have a great mind! Sadly, however, my emotions were spent I stayed alone for three long years, so my peace I could find. Young inside is how I feel yet sometimes sadden when Passing a mirror, wishing that what’s in my heart –was in it way back then Playing life over inside of my head-letting things go-I continue on to heal Important even more that I’m in the middle of my own life’s reel Human nature astounds me and its will to survive The window begins to open-our hope we cannot hide It’s on this with which we can depend, and continually we’ll thrive On we go through this maze called life, lucky we are with family and friends Their love and support all surrounding Please learn from me- my female friends-glass ceilings have been shattered. The path is paved, the war did end, and your minds are safe and matter Just don’t forget the little girl, who dreamed she’d meet Prince Charming Balance is needed for a life well lived, one-sidedness is also harming. The best of both worlds is what you have now Please don’t forget the roads we plowed. Be all that you can, starting way back then May regrets for you-be few We struggled, fought and sacrificed. The rest is up to you. |

Everything happens for a reason. I wouldn't be who I am today without him. Should have seen the look on his face when I thanked him.

The rest is up to you. Many of the poets here have inspired me,,they make me see,,make me think,,make me want to be,,,,lol Life is living through all that we so onced loved,,just to have that pass,,and leave us all HERE ON MINGLE,,,lol,, I really like your expressions,,and what your heart and mind has left behind,,,all we can do,,is slowly forget THEM,,as we find MORE and more of US..All the silents you never spoke,,for fear it was wrong,,,YOU can now sing THAT in Harmony of the you, your coming to know.. I hope I or one of these fellow people of words here,,,make you stop and think,,and want to hurry to a key board and express YOUR words.. As we shall be reading THEM,,,Be Blessed and keep on sharing,,, |
