Sadness

Sometimes my life has no meaning or purpose in this world

My life has turned back on me twisted and curled

I had a frightening childhood experience that changed my life forever

To struggle through my life has been at times a harrowing endeavour

As my life now draws to a close I look back to the rounded person I am now

How could this life and person have been hidden for so long; how!

Child abuse has a legacy of lives filled with pain and disconnected people

Anger, pain, and sadness in my case all this turned in on myself

Forever to dwell on a lonely dark shelf
