Pain

A Poem about my past life

By Angela WatkinsPublished 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

I have lived a life in hell. Seeming to always fail. I have never been well. My story I will tell.

A life full of abuse with thugs. Trying to find myself in a world full of drugs. I have never been well. My story I will tell.

Emotional and physical pain I will sustain. Something I wish I could explain. I always thought I was insane. I have never been well. My story I will tell.

Crying didn’t help any. Cutting eased the pain. Drugs took it away for a day. I have never been well. My story I will tell.

Getting clean was hell. Sleepless nights and restless day. Sweats and chills were just as bad. My story I will tell.
