Poem Title:
Poem
The Bully 30 Years ago, you showed me the door, Because I wouldn’t do what you wanted anymore. That day was the worst of my life, I wanted to die, to escape the strife. All I needed was a simple letter, To give me a chance to get better. Now when I look back and see, you certainly did me a favour that day. In 1986 Thursday the first of May. From then on people listened to what I had to say, Doctors and Nurses went out or their way, I got the treatment I needed at last, Bit by bit they went over the past. One whole year is all it took, A lot of hard work, a little luck. To this very day I have never been back, 26 whole years and that’s a fact. The last few years have been the best of my life, Truly content being a Mother and Wife. And Nanny as well, Must not let my head swell, A collection of poems all written by me.. My story in 7 magazines for the whole world to see. A whole new extension to the house designed by me. Also having to cope with the death of my mother, Then four months later the death of my mother’s sister, God not another. Having my kitchen demolished completely, did put me in a fix. But being so well, even that couldn’t knock me for six. So remember the next time someone begs you for a letter, At least give THEM, the chance to get better. For as long as I live I will never for get that terrible day, Thursday 1986 the first of May, The day that you showed me the door, Just because I wouldn’t do what you wanted anymore. They say that time heals all pain, I’m lucky I’ve learnt to live again.
