Child Bride




Child Bride


I was spared when you were sacrificed.
A lifetime of suffering but you defied.
What you don’t know won’t hurt you but they lied.
I was grateful for your confidence when you shared.


You were bridaled against your will out of fears.
My defiance saved me a lifetime of tears.
Your safety and protection were betrayed.
By the ones you trusted to obey.


Your gift of virginity was preyed upon.
Your innocence and purity was strung along.
With the promise of eternal life in the great beyond.
But experience and life would prove the improbable.


When your soul couldn’t deal you contemplated leaving this world
But, an Angel was bestowed, to spare your soul.
You were later blessed with more angels, to love you loud

For every day on this Earth ensures your legacy.

She is Switzerland

Like Switzerland, she remains in the middle Like Switzerland, she is torn between her two worlds Like Switzerland, there are no sides to take She fits not in either world, for nothing feels right. She’s without a country to call her own The longer she remains in one world The more she forgets the other; not fluent in either tongue Her allegiance to both worlds equals But she truly belongs to only one; which one? Her birth country is but a memory, Her adoptive country is but a burden, full of hate and fear of the different She yearns to return to the land of her people, but she has ties that bind She feels the air of home swirling around her She hears the sounds of locals as their lives intertwine She tastes the foods she loved as a young girl For now she waits, for a ripe time to return home, for without her mother And father among the living, she feels not a connection to her homeland She desperately wants to turn back time, but she can’t ...

When you finally realize that you need help!

Mmmmm, that looks good. So, yesterday I was feeling some kind of way and I could not concentrate, or even get out and do things like go to the beach, as I wanted to do.  Instead I finished a book . I accomplished 3 big things yesterday: I took my car to Auto Zone for a reading, engine gauge goes in the red, but it cools itself as I'm driving.  They found nothing; finished reading the above book; and I did a load of laundry. Anyway, as the day went on, I started getting very emotional, unable to concentrate or complete a single thought.  Years ago, I criticized someone for not being able to live inside their own heads.  This person had just ended a relationship, and they were doing everything to keep themselves busy just so they wouldn't think about the situation they were in.  The hurt, the loss, the fear, the uncertainty...the list can go on forever.  Now that I'm in the same situation, I have an understanding of what this person was going throu...

Why I started this Blog and taking Responsibility for my past, present, and future!

I started this blog because I'm hoping to help others (men and women) heal after going through something like what I went through and still going through.  So others can avoid going through what I'm going through.  This Blog will not be about bashing anyone. It will be about my life as I lived it, my mistakes, my regrets, my sorrow, my self esteem, and feeling beat down. To save myself and my children, I had to leave a bad marriage.  I left because my children were suffering, and I was suffering.  In order to stop all our suffering, I had to remove myself from the equation while salvaging my career at the same time. It's been a year, within that year, I managed to get a divorce, go in an insurmountable debt, embarrassed myself, got embarrassed, found freedom, been miserable, been happy (for a short time), been cursed at by the other side, been begged to return home and I'll be treated like a queen, told that I won't have to work for the rest of my life if I retu...
