Written 8th June 2025 Decrepit Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Constance La France
I am a decrepit, I'll tell you why Even though telling you will make me cry My world has been turned around, upside down And I've developed an eternal frown. I've tried to be helpful all of my life Now, sadly I have to think more than twice I've been backstabbed and I'm truly forlorn If only I could have been told, for-warned. My life means nothing to me anymore Happiness and joy has flown from my door I won’t help anyone else, as before Only my hubby, the one I adore. Here I sit wondering how to go on Will I be disliked now, by everyone Can one's joy of living ever come back After they have been verbally attacked. The hurt I feel is driving me insane It will never happen ever again I'll hide away, keeping me to myself I hope the backstabber's proud of herself. * * *
