Living there.
With every day an adventure,
And every hour a joy.
Every breeze hold's wonderous scents
To tantalize the soul.
WHY?
WHY, were these feet so willing, to climb into this box,
WHY, did I close my eyes,as I tightly closed the lid.
WHY, did I choose not to see, the darkness waiting for me,
WHY, did I choose to ignore, the fact that I would need more,
WHY, did I not say no-why did I just let go??
Author's Notes/Comments:
Some of the darkest years of my life followed one of the biggest mistakes I ever made.
I gave up the home and village I loved and been my happiest in, for what I truly believed would be the best thing to do.
I was so very wrong. I can't go back and I don't belong here. Quite a few of my poems are about how I feel about this, because at the time writing was all I had to keep the darkness at bay.
