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
