    Poem Commentary

    This poem is about my life being married.  I wrote it when I left and realized what life was.  I only have this to say to women and men out there that are in an unhappy marriage.  If you are unhappy move on in life.  I stayed because of my kids, family and friends.  I was afraid of what they would think or say.  I have come to realize that I needed to think about me first.  Your true friends will stick by you.  Your family will be understanding and there for you.  I know mine were and I'm very grateful.  Can't say that it was easy and there are still tough times and there will always be tough times.  The one thing I do know is that I do feel like living now.

    I Was A Prisoner

    I was a prisoner
    Wanting to be set free
    Take the bars off the window
    Let me be me

    I gave up on life
    I wanted to die
    I would sit throughout the day
    I would cry and cry

    For nineteen years
    I lived in hell
    Closed myself up
    In a protective shell

    Built a wall around me
    Thick not thin
    Like a protective shield
    So no one could get in

    I closed myself up
    Did not let anyone in
    Go home, lock the doors
    Don't want to be hurt again
