My Poetic Style

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

What a question. Since I was a little girl I’ve been bombarded with many emotions because of an alcoholic parent. I had fear, anger, and sadness.

Back then I was worried about surviving and keeping to myself. If I stayed away from the monster I was lucky.

I made it through high school and as soon as I turned 18 I moved out and moved in with a high school friend. It was the best thing ever. It was no longer a toxic environment.

Since then I have lived in a protective environment. Staying to myself. I’m friendly to everyone but live behind a wall.

When I was going through chemo treatments for breast cancer, family became number one. They helped me through it. I am so thankful for them.

I’m still in survival mode.
