"Your life is being written down for you as grow;
it is written until YOU are able to write the rest." djr
I wrote a story of a man's life.
He had two children and a wife.
Everything was going great for awhile.
Then he started getting very hostile.
Problems were beginning around the house.
He didn't like backtalk so he would beat his spouse.
The "KIDS" would sometimes watch.
As he yells at her with a bottle of Scotch...
and then...
Wait a minute...
I don't like this life story.
A bad life is not what I pursuit.
I'd rather start on a love story.
Now that I threw the other life away,
I'll start this life beginning in a cafe...
No I don't wish I had my life on paper and could change it.The reason is simple.We each have a life with all it's ups and downs. Some are moments more challenging then others.So quite frustrating to say least but they are the times that set our character into mode and decide what we do from there. I honestly feel this way and no I did not have the Donna Reed life coming up. I lost my mom at age 13,I was attacked and stabbed at 13 ,I had been in and out of forster homes a lot of my life,and I was also raped at age 9yr and have had some miserable relationships in the past and a marriage that went sour.These would be good enough reasons to say change it.Since in truth, I know I can't though I don't like my past in truth,I feel in some ways realizing it's horror and negativity has given be a prospective to see and realize the beauty that is in life beyond it. I have a wonderful man in my life,both my kids are grown and healthy and I have a grandson.I have my poetry,my own health,a place to live and I get by tough at times but I do get by,so yes I can look around me and say all the crap of the past lead me to where I am now ,a person who respects life and the beauty in it.It is one of the main reasons you will see me write many things on nature,many on the human factor and compassion.........
