WANDERING

WANDERING

Never comprehending that making such poor choices

Consequences took their desperate toll.

Lessons went unlearned from ignoring inner voices

Unable to escape the ghastly hole.

The hole is metaphoric yet it felt like it was real –

A gaping precipice she can’t avoid

Choose wisely – If you fall, you will not heal

Words of warning made her more annoyed.

One would think that by this time her lessons had been learned.

Yet her choices and decisions were still poor.

No one was successful helping tables to be turned

Each day she felt more broken than before.

She often chose to disappear deep into the night

Irresponsible and dangerous at best.

Her conscience tried to stand up- tried to do whatever’s right.

But the push and pull of curses would not rest.

Her life was now elusive – an old fantasy or dream –

She had few friends, and acquaintances just used her.

If she felt a real connection – perhaps they’d be a team.

The more she trusted, the quicker they abused her.

She started losing all she had – including family and friends

She had nowhere to turn – no place to dwell.

The pull. The pain. The curse – it never ends…

Eventually, she realized life was hell.
