My life
Imagined my life to be the way it is
In a way I am glad,
Even though I presumed
My life would be simple, mundane,
A primitive girl
From a rural little village
I am
I met my prince charming
at 19
married him at 21
happily ever after
story ends
HELL NOYes, met the man of my Dreams
At 19,
Fell madly in love
He is the one,
Perhaps
Not
Infidelity
Small word
Such a big punch
I am amazed by
Ones who survive it
I couldn’t
I didn’t
Man of my dreams
No way,
He is not a cheater
His is not unfaithful
He is honest full of integrity
Nope he was definitely not the one
Search continues
The beginning
Of my life
at 27
Yea, that is when I discovered
Me
Who I am,
What I am
Can’t believe it
Took me 27 friggin years
To realize that
I Have integrity
I am strong,
Independent, confident,
And beautiful
But
My biggest downfall
My conscience
My most wonderful, amazing attribute
My conscience
The most compelling law I know
My friggin conscience
Lucky for me
I abide by it
Because I believe in
Karma
What goes around
Comes around
I get it all back
Perhaps I am getting back,
I believe that
And even though I am
Getting my share of woes
They come with
Many more euphoric moments
Enriching moments
Those are the moments I live for
Rather
I live for the moments
I realize
I am thankful for the
Happiness that I do get.

I guess, you were a romantic to begin with, but your experience in the early years changed your attitude toward life..made you view life more practically, maybe here's where your attitude toward men in general also changed?
But I admire the way you picked yourself up, and turned around your life the way you wanted it..discovering yourself in the process and being independent.And finding happiness...it is so much more than 'just sinking' as a lot of people would have done. Great going Nali.
hmm, yes, I am a romantic at heart...my thoughts are very romantic. Here is where I am an oxymoron again, because I am also an idealist...I don't think romantics and idealist really go together. This poem was really about my ex-husband.
