The Past

I never learned anything from my younger self,
I knew I needed therapy meds and a lot of help
Thoughts from my past are creeping up on me fast
As a child of many many children in the family
I was born third so no one gave a damn about me!
17 years old I saw my dad cheat on my mom
He gave her the ultimatum to choose him or thee
I was kicked out to my sister's so hard to move past this I'm now in my forty somethings.
Relationships I have found to be the hardest to have. What's wrong with me? Why does everyone hate me? What did I do wrong? Why am I still here on earth to this day?
Thoughts from my past are creeping up on me fast

Well said. Powerful poem. I and my sibs come from a very dysfunctional family so I can totally empathize with you. Glad you can write about it.
