    Strong

    In this world I feel all alone
    I have a family and a home
    But I can't shake this feeling
    I have deep inside me

    I love my family
    and I love my friends
    but sometimes I think
    I want it to end

    I want my freedom
    I want my space
    sometimes I feel like
    I want to run away

    I married young at age 18
    conceived my daughter
    and became a mom
    when I was just 19

    My husband has told me
    how much he loves me
    He wants nothing more
    than to make me happy

    Just sometimes I feel
    Like I lost out on life
    I grew up to fast
    watched my mother die

    There are days I find myself
    wanting to let it out
    hang my head down low
    and just cry and cry

    But I hold my head up
    look at my children
    tell them mommy loves them
    and give them hugs and kisses

    I have to be strong
    cut out all my losses
    there is nothing I can do
    but be there for my family

    So everday I hold my head up high
    Put on my happy face
    Take care of my husband and kids
    And dream about all the things
    that I had to miss....

    Sometimes we have to give up some things to get something so much greater. So you got married early and had kids, you know how much maturity and responsibility it takes to do that?. A level most people do not have in our age group. I know I could not handle it LOL. Very good story, emotional honest and goes in depth of the situation are in. So many young single people have a life and do all this cool stuff but go to a empty home, at least you do not have to worry about that :).

    Pillar of a write NB! A good family is precious in this world - if you have your own family, you're actually quite fortunate. You have your very own treasure - since money is overrated and/or misused especially. I've a probably simplistic suggestion: Write down some good things that you think you've missed. Then, as a secondary to the priority of your family, look into pursuing one or two of them. You might be surprised to discover that some of them may not necessarily be gone forever - the reasonable ones. Also, for your ponderment, remember the grass is greener adage! Also, geographical location can affect moods. Of course, we do know that moving can be almost impossible. Just my thoughts. Peace!!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
