Hi
Let me know what you think,. It's rather dark I wrote it after watching a really sad programme about child abuse and the after effects. :cry:
REGRETS
Happy childhood memories
Carefree, childhood days
Stolen, taken away from me
Lost to me in one day
My life since then has been on hold
I’ve lived it all, a lie
I look back now and am amazed
Amazed I’ve even tried
No tears to cry, can’t bring it back
The time they took from me
I grew up suddenly, over night
And lost the real me
My confidence can’t escape its jail
My spark forever? gone
My energy’s nonexistent
All taken by one wrong
I bluff my way through, day to day
Too scared to let them see
Afraid to open up in case they find
The sad and lonely, inner me
Who Am I? I ask my self
Each & Every day
Will I like me more than
The person I am today?
The person sitting here in the cold
Trying hard to accept their lot
Daughter, sister, wife & mother
I SHOULD BE HAPPY with what I’ve got
Trouble is, I see my kids all growing
Happy, confident & proud
Where was my time to be like that?
I want to scream the words out loud
My time to laugh, to run & play
To explore and time to grow
The things I knew at the age of 9
No 9 year old should know
That’s why I’m sitting here at 4am
Writing verse & drinking tea
I’m trying hard to find some one
To find the real me
WHOEVER SHE IS

| Thanx for that. It actually took me about half an hour and then I just kept going back and changing the odd word here and there. It seems to be like that when the mood hits. Pity it doesn't hit a bit more often. :lol: |

Seems almost ironic to be saying it about such a sad poem but wow! This is great! :)
You wrote all that in 30 minutes too?! Jeesh! :) You should enter it into a poetry compo! |

I'd have more to post if the d**n comp hadn't crashed & I lost loads. Teach me not to back up more often I guess. Hey ho.

Been there, done that. I am sick to death of formatting Bl**dy comps.
:smt019
The kids have all got one (got them towers for Xmas one year - bankrupt again) and Sam (16) is always messing his up. He even managed to delete the graphics card once - but swears blind he did nothing. Supermum (that's me by the way when he wants something) had to rummage through all the DIY comp manuals ands try to sort it - talk about the blind leading the blnd. Got it eventually but had to completely strip his system and reformat - he'd done some serious **** to it.
Ours is the only comp on the net at the mo - oh, & I have a laptop (that makes 5 comps altogther) - 3 yrs old but I use it for writing etc - better than sitting at the comp desk. :lol: |

5 comps? Yer my kinda gal! :lol:
Our oldest one is going to the half sister and her lil' family when they come to visit next weekend (Uncle Jon plays co-babysitter for 24 hours to 2 kids, can't wait! :lol:). So that leaves us with 2 PC's and a laptop. THe laptop being my mum's and as such is strictly no games :D
I sort've have my own now (my bro's old one) but my bro's (which I'm on now) is a 2ghz monster, so I tend to rob his. :D
Whenever he's on it though I'm usually on the laptop. So anytime you see me around 9pm taking 6 hours to respond to a post, I'm on the laptop. :D |

| Sam wants the net in his room when we've finished converting the garage. Somehow I think my days of sorting out the comps have only just started!! :( |

Hehe, kids these days should work it out for themselves! Admittedly I only know about PC's when the tower cover remains on, but still! :lol:
Ahh, doin' a lil' converting then? Just had an extension of the kitchen and a conservatory done. Should hopefully all be finally done by end of next week, by which time it'll be a staggering 13 week-long job :? Still, I get me own games room out of it :lol: |
