I've made it (Happy Birthday to me)

I've made it (Happy Birthday to me)

Another decade... I've made it
I'm on the other side of my time now getting faded
They hated me over these past years
They lied through those past tears
Now I'm longing for the ending
Established in '74 who's pretending
Through trials and tribulations
Too young to questions God's creations
By 10 they told me I was done
By 20 they said that I would never see 21
Those cell-bars made a man of me
At 30 I couldn't stand to be
In a life short of blessings
In a lifetime full of stressing
A life far from understandable
For me damned-able
I've traveled down the wrong lane
I've been to hell and made a name
Now yesterday becomes tomorrow
I tip my hat to all my pain and sorrow
I'm on the other side of my time getting faded
40....I've made it!

Well, my friend Morris, if you have made it to 40, you have made it, many people do not make it past 17yrs, you are making it, rocky roads, or not, you are here, and maybe now its been worth it?

I love how you write, it is intense and so much emotion, great to read your stuff!

Hey, I just wrote this crazy poem called "An Indiscreet Love Diary", I should have saved it for February, but it was on my mind and I had to get it out! Will you read it, and tell me what you think?

Congrats"

Nancy
