After reading the poem above, I cried for awhile and as I thought about my life these words just started
coming to me. I'm not much of a poet, but I hope that
it might reach someone like the poem above did for me.
A beautiful poem was given to me
by a very dear friend that made me see,
That I was not the one to blame
and I should not hang my head in shame.
The part that really makes me mad
is that I married someone just like my dad,
They think that violence is the way
to solve a problem when they've had a bad day.
I thought I would always have to hide
the pain I've felt and the tears I've cried,
I buried my dreams of going to school
and now I realize I was such a fool.
A friend helped me see that this was not right
and was there beside me as I searched for the light,
I saw how hard it was, as I tried to get out
At times I wanted to give up, but then I'd Shout
"I'm getting older and wiser in life
I'm not tolerating any more trouble and strife,
I won't look behind or live with more sorrow
I'm looking ahead to my bright new tomorrow!"
