Scars left behind

I’ve been through an awful lot 
just wishing it would all stop. 
I don’t let anyone know 
and definitely don’t want it to show. 

It all begins when I was born
the other twin left to mourn.
Everyday I ask myself, “why me?” 
in the hope that it will set me free. 

When I was a child 
nothing came mild.
I could hardly cope 
after mum having the stroke.

In my teens everything was fine 
the family beginning to shine.
But it was only a matter of time 
before that uphill climb.

June 27th My brother diagnosed 
with the “C” that never goes. 
I should have known things were too good 
but yet I never understood.

    This is sad. Sometimes when we are young things happen that we do not understand. Thanks for sharing. Good lick in the contest. Lucilla
