I am a 51 year old Black woman, a mother of one, grandmother of three, and engaged to be married to the love of my life.
I am an undergraduate student at Ashford University Online, Clinton, IA, majoring in Accounting and working towards my BA in the field.
I write poetry to help me free my mind. It sends me to a special place.
I didn't ask to be here
But why punish me
For the choices you made
Because it was not to be.
...
My honey, baby, darling dear,
You claimed to love me
But how is it
That you cheated on me
...
I have been with you for the past six months
But please explain to me
Who told you, my darling
That love is supposed to hurt?
