Life Goes On

I’m a woman, never claimed to be flawless Stretch marks, I’m not skinny, I’m not absolute At one time I have lived my life lawless Never have I been perfect this I won’t refute I’m only human and age is creeping Scars galore from past struggles Open minded but stubbornness is seeping Experiences many, never lived in a bubble But for all my faults I am in control My life and my ways may contradict A good heart and I am giving, keeps me whole When it comes to my words at time they conflict Experienced love, happiness and pain Heartache, the joy of giving birth Loss of a child, abuse left me feeling drained All gave me my undeniable sense of worth I believe we all have the right to express Never claimed to get along with all I don’t like the drama yes this I confess If a friend and hurt I would always call All I’ve been through, others have seen more How jealousy kills relationships you see I learned to appreciate differences before I avoid others that with me will disagree I never claimed that I’m the very best Yet to the pleasure of words I am drawn With all that I’ve just admitted I guess either take me or leave me, life goes on https://soundcloud.com/brenda-chiri-649321782/life-goes-on?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
