Honest Poem About My Life
I was asked to write an honest portrayal of my life-
I could say I am a daughter, mother and wife.
My days are full of so much more than just those things-
I spend time sketching portraits, playing guitar and I sing.
My past is full of such loss, blame and internal regret-
But the lessons I have learned I shall never forget.
I spend a few hours a day writing verses from my soul-
Expressing passion from my pain and joy that makes me whole.
I compose lyrics and create melodies sitting on my balcony-
Forming such dulcet rhythm and sweet euphonious harmony.
The bond I share with two sisters transcends space and time-
I lost one tragically to suicide, it turned my eyesight blind.
I’ve been married for fourteen years but together for twenty-
I have a husband who adores me and I reciprocate plenty.
I am a stay at home wife and a mother to a beauty queen-
She is my soul-saving wonder who is almost a teen.
I have fought addiction and my life was almost over-
I am happy to say I am now almost eight years sober.
The last thirty-six years have been full of calamity and pain-
But through my faith I have found the sunshine through the rain.
My life is abundant in anguish yet deep love and compassion-
I try to live my days in benediction in a lovely womanly fashion.
I am honest when I say the pain from my past taught me lessons-
But I am also grateful for all my day-to-day sanctioned blessings.
