Falling to Pieces
once upon a time
when i was young
i let myself be led
down the rough road
of self-neglect
i was unworthy
of self-respect
constant abuse
informed me
i was no use
until all of a sudden
my eyes could see
how wrong i could be
‘twas hard to make the break
but i knew i could no longer take
more long years of living this lie
of allowing one to be superior
at the expense of my being inferior
i knew it must end
the decision was hard
to be on my own
and face the future alone
but for the sake of my sanity
i had to face the calamity
of watching my world
fall…
…….ing
..to…

I agree, absolutely! Long time ago, Gran, and the pieces are mostly fixed… In any case, in the long run it has made me strong.

I’m so sorry, Peter. The one thing I’ve learnt from this is not to sell yourself short. You are worth more!

It is such a pity we had to learn the hard way. With me I think it’s because I was such an optimist and refused to see what was in front of my nose… Still it worked out in the end for the best I think, because experience is always valuable if you make it so.

I had no other choice – fortunately!
I struggled a bit to make the structure happen with WP’s program – so had to use the dots, lol! 😀
