36 Years in a Minute : Adult Poetry

Being born was the easiest thing I’ve ever done.

The list will be long as I start off at one.

I’ve suffered physical and sexual abuse, rape and neglect.

I’ve had relationships based on disrespect.

Heartaches from divorce and fighting the courts.

I’ve been on drugs trying to make the pain go away.

I’ve listened to the doctors tell me I have heart disease, And I might die today.

I’ve kissed my daughter goodnight and then discovered her dead.

Tell me how guilty you would feel if you were the one who put her to bed.

I’ve wanted to end my life with one shot to the head.

But I keep on eating, that is my punishment instead.

I’ve watched my mother die and be revived many times.

I’ve worried for my children at night as I’ve closed the mini-blinds.

I’ve lost my faith and then found it again.

He said he would never leave me, he would be with me till the end.

I’ve made many mistakes some I can never take back.

I’ve loved and I’ve lost that is a well known fact.

I know what your thinking, can all this be true.

This is my 36 yrs in a min, now what about you?
