Catherine Hamer Poem
The Journey
Watching her suffer with a limited life
I did not cry
Caring and cleaning with all my might
I did not cry
Groomed and abused before my teens
I did not cry
Putting daffodils in her hand to say goodbye
I did not cry
Prison for dad when it wasn’t him
I did not cry
The family torn apart
I did not cry
An unsupportive partner in my time of need
I did not cry
Having to stand on my own two feet
I did not cry
Struggles to pay bills with a new born
I did not cry
Escaping from reality
I got high
Criminal convictions
I did not cry
Abusive husband and broken finger
I did not cry
Divorced and insolvent
I did not cry
Qualifications, supportive partner, happy home life, great job - counselling
I cried

Catherine Hamer Poem
So here I am in this place I don’t know
Pushing forward but unsure where to go
The decision is made and there’s no going back
What to do now, how to get back on track
The decision was made for me and it was the right thing
But I never imagined that I would take off my ring
Sadness surrounds me, my future visions all gone
But your nasty behavior couldn’t go on
You may not have noticed but you pushed me away
You dictated my actions and I couldn’t obey
Your need for attention was bigger than the sea
It took my love for you away from me
So my choices consist of feeling happy or sad
But my suffering has ended and for that I am glad
So onward I’ll walk with a smile on my face
Discovering myself again until I find my right place
