Born and raised in South Africa. Traditional farm girl who grew up with one older sister and two younger brothers. Married at 21 and had my twin boys at age 27. They are my pride and joy. My first Poetry Journal was just published (2017) the fruit of my past. Memoirs by Katie Pelser. Available on Amazon. I am learning to love life.
I own my pain in the back of my head
All the endless nights of shame ruining
My life all the same, all in vein
My broken life, running on pain
...
If today I could make time stand still I would change one thing
If today I could turn back time, I would make one change
If today I could run away I would run backwards into my past
If today I could make a decision it would be the right one.

I am writing down my Memoirs
Just in case one day I forget
All the meaningless, careless words
I never even meant, but said.
...
I'm going to sing you a song
Not a poem just a silly song
Not a love song or a rhyme
Just a plain old fashioned lullaby
