Poetry is my only escape... it's a way for me to escape from problems in life. I told a friend once that life is like a roller coaster: it has its ups and downs, and we are all just along for the ride. To me its like going with the flow. There are some things you can't stop from happening in life. And crying about every little thing gone wrong doesn't help the situation. Of course, you can't pretend it never happened, even though I do that sometimes. Pretending it never happened is basically adding more pressure on yourself because then you're focused on telling yourself, "it never happened, it never happened". You'll just be adding more problems into your already problematic life. Keeping yourself distracted helps for the moment, but when you go home, there's going to be a down time and you'll feel like you have a weight on your shoulders. Some people grow up being abused.... and they have bruises and scars to prove it. But, some people, like me, who grew up being verbally abused.... they don't have the bruises but the memories. Personality change, depression, no self esteem.... My point being, don't let life get to ya, because it will. All you can do is hold your head high and face it. "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience by which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." -Eleanor Roosevelt Life Lesson: Life goes on, just gotta face it in ur own way!!!
