I was infatuated with the wrong men,
I bared myself to them.
I was used and thrown
Like someone who is worth the unknown
I smoked, I smoked up
I had weed, I had my dope
I thought it would take me to another world
I thought it would free me from what I am
That smoke that rose, gave me immense satisfaction
Little did I know it was a temporary gratification
What it did then I feel now
It ruined my life, and how
I was too blind to see,
That my parents always wanted all the good for me
I went away when they needed me
To people who never really cared
Now when I look\around, its my family that is standing here on my death bed
All I want to say is,
I was never a bad girl, Mumma
I just strayed.
I know you loved & you cared, Pappa
I am sorry I never saw that
I was a bad example, my little brother
Never ever do what I did
I promise to come back, I promise to be the girl you want me to be
I promise that I love you, now and forever, till we meet again

DeleteIf we have led a life with no regrets, some would say we haven't lived at all. And hindsight... yeah, it's all to sharply-focused.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this immensely.
