In my life I have been a child, a mother,
a wife, a model and a nurse.
Been rife with heartache and pain
and days I thought I was cursed
As the time has passed on in my
life I have found healing
I've found new friends along the
way which have made life more appealing
I don't have to look back at the
days gone by if I don't want to
I can focus on my life now and raising
my kids because that's what I need to do
Overcoming doubt and regret is still
something I am working to abolish
Like starting with a mountain of agony
it's gonna take real strength to demolish

I was thinking of this giant mountain of all these feelings that I wanted to demolish. I don't know why, but I do. And I'm gonna start at the top and work my way through the pain and ugliness. Thats just my thoughts! Thanks for the read. I don't disagree with what you say. Your way sounds good too!
