Sorry, a rant on divorce - who knows?
Sorry, a rant on divorce … who knows …
I cannot lie…
I lived a life before lying for a living and I quit it on purpose.
It was not good …
But it earns money …
But I hate lying.
However, I just learned I have been living under a lie for two years.
I know life, family, marriage, life, work, blah, blah, blah …
Creates stress…
But why lie?
Really?
Two years, under a lie!
It doesn’t make sense, and, when it doesn’t make sense, …?
I hate thinking like a lawyer but now I am back in that arena,
You woke the sleeping giant.
I just wanted to enjoy life and laugh and have fun, write poetry, find a new direction in life, write my books, enjoy my photography,
You said, go, enjoy ... but get a job ...
I am working,
At least I hope my son gets paid with my writings when I die.
But you all pushed,
Just for a dollar.
Complaining about money when we already have everything!
But you want to buy Versace … blah, blah, blah …
Ha, I won a 300$ Versace scarf for $10 in a gambling tournament …
That I gave to my ungrateful wife …
Along with all the diamonds, jewelry …
that … I don’t care about money,
But I am going to get paid for your lie!
I gave love and then, 2022 …
You are a liar!
How can I still be in love with you?
I make jokes that I am an idiot but,
Darn, I really am an idiot!
Not really, I saw the signs …
But I made a promise to love my new family,
Because I lost my first family because of lying,
(meaning too many hours at work and away from the family)
So, yes, I have very strong opinions about the separation of work and family.
But I have been deceived.
Even after saying that I do not take marriage lightly.
My ex-wife was even surprised to learn that I was married again.
But I fell in love, with my soon to be ex-wife, only to learn that I was deceived at a low point in life, post covid …
So, tell me, after making a choice to be good to the family,
I have been deceived,
How should I feel?
I really do not care.
I still wear my marriage bracelet, but it is not for her anymore.
A friend asked me how can I just let go?
I said, because after my past, I will Love but I refuse to crumble again.
I am strong!
I have been a storyteller, teacher, and lover for life,
It is all out in the open …
So, please, prove me wrong!
And, finally, you saw my poem about how much I loved my Wife,
It was featured here…
And, now this, it does not make sense…
