(364)▪︎[ Closure … 2026 ]

[ One Day You Were Told This … “People Don’t Abandon The People They Love, Only The People They Are Done Using” ]
[ This Is Not You Accusing ]
[ This Is You Saying That You Are Tired Of The Abusing ]

[ For So Many Years She Said That Everything Bad That Has Happened Was Your Fault ]
[ (30yrs) Of That Sure Did Stick In Your Memory Vault ]

[ For All Of Those Years You Carried Alot Of Shame ]
[ Because She Always Had Her Finger Out ]
[ Pointing @ You To Blame ]
[ There Was Very Little Doubt ]
[ Pointing Her Finger @ You Was Her Favorite Game ]

[ She Got Good @ This Game Like Sharpening A Knife ]
[ When You Made Her Your Wife ]
[ You Did Not Ever Imagine That You Were Going To Waste Over (30yrs) Of Your Life ]

[ Maybe Way Back Then You Looked Ripe ]
[ To Be Used By Her Type ]
[ You Never Had A Gripe ]
[ Listening To The Hype ]

[ You Always Thought Your Future Was Set ]
[ But She Did Alot That Was Very Hard To Forget ]
[ You Always Thought That You Were Going Against Her Families Bet ]
[ After All Of Those Years You Grew Tired Of Being Treated Like A Pet ]

[ You Always Felt Certain ]
[ That She Wanted To Hide You Behind A Dark Curtain ]

[ She Seemed To Have The Itch ]
[ To Look @ You To Say, “Get Behind The Curtain, Bitch!” ]

[ She Always Needed To Be Out Front & Center ]
[ But Then She Put Up A Big Sign, “Do Not Enter!” ]
[ She Was The Driver Of The Car ]
[ & You Were Just The Rear Fender ]

[ You Sure Got ]
[ To Know Your Spot ]
[ She Was Important & You Were Not ]

[ She Really Did Not Like You To Express ]
[ When You Were Depressed ]

[ She Was Sure ]
[ That Would Take The Spotlight Off Of Her ]

[ The Quote You Were Told Gave Your Marriage Enough Exposure ]
[ & The Meaning Behind It Sure Gives You The Much Needed Closure ]

(304)▪︎[ Life … 2026 ]

[ Is Life Just A Matter Of Feet ]
[ & Inches ]
[ Don’t Sit On Your Seat ]
[ If The Woman Sitting Across From You Flinches ]

[ Then You Try To Remember What Punches Are You Rollin With? ]
[ Do All Of Those Punches Leave You Feeling Kind Of Stiff? ]

[ You Really Hate This Situation ]
[ It Only Causes More Aggravation ]

[ Does It Matter When You Elevate Something ]
[ If You Come Away With Nothing? ]

[ When The Brain Starts Rumbling ]
[ Does That Make The Self-Confidence Start Crumbling? ]

[ What Is Up With That? ]
[ This Should Be Old Hat ]

[ It’s Not Like This Doesn’t Happen All The Time ]
[ If You Only Had A Dime ]
[ For Everyday That You Had A Mountain To Climb ]

[ You Could Live A Comfortable Life ]
[ Now You See If You Had Money ]
[ You Would Also Have A Happy Wife! ]

[ But Now You See ]
[ That Is Not To Be ]
[ Because That Ex-Wife Is Being Greedy! ]

(403)▪︎[ Family Is A Negative (6) Letter Word … 9/21/2025 ]

[ One Time When You Were Fooled, It Was Because You Let Your Guard Down ]
[ & Said That Your In-Laws Were Special, Like Family ]
[ Now You Have Ended Up Looking Like The Clown ]
[ Because That Is Not How They Wanted Things To Be ]

[ You Should Have Had The Strength ]
[ To Keep Them @ Arms Length ]

[ On The Bench ]
[ Or In A Toolbox ]
[ Like An Unused Wrench ]
[ Secured With (2) Locks ]

[ Because You Showed Weakness ]
[ Things Turned Into One Big Hot Mess ]
[ Now, All It Causes Is Stress ]

[ In The Beinning, You Thought You Were Blessed ]
[ & A Little Bit Impressed ]
[ But Now That The Bad Feelings Have Progressed ]
[ You Feel Kind Of Depressed ]

[ You Feel, A Little Bit Lost ]
[ You Can Only Guess ]
[ That Is The Cost ]

[ Of Putting Your Trust ]
[ In The Wrong People ]
[ Who Easily Pushed You To The Side So You Can Watch Everything Bust ]

[ If They Didn’t Love You As Family, Why Did They Do As Such ]
[ Now (30+) Years ]
[ Do Not Mean That Much ]

[ If They Never Wanted A Son ]
[ Why Did They Call You & Treat You As One ]
[ Well, They Can Still Be Happy ]
[ Because They Still Have None ]

[ The Egg Is Squarely On Your Face ]
[ You Guess When It Came To The Family Table ]
[ You Never Really Had A Place ]

[ Maybe That Was The Time That You Should Have Left en Haste ]
[ (30+) Years Of Effort ]
[ Sure Turned Into Toxic Waste ]

[ Why, Why, Why? ]
[ Do People Come Up To You, & Look You In The Eye’s ]
[ & Do Nothing But Lie, Lie, Lie? ]
[ (30+) Years Worth Of Lie’s ]

[ Disgusting, Hateful & Full Of Spite ]
[ Now, Nothing Feels Right ]
[ How Can You Fight ]
[ Something That Isn’t In Direct Sight? ]

[ You Wish That You NEVER Had Taken Their Name ]
[ Carrying It As Yours ]
[ Now Doesn’t Feel The Same ]
[ & That Is Describing The Feelings Kind Of Tame ]
[ It Is Like Putting Your Raft In The River & Not Be Given A Set Of Oars ]
[ Maybe This Was One Long Drawn Out Game ]

[ How Come Something That Used To Feel So Strong ]
[ Turned Out To Be So So Wrong? ]

[ You Need To Take The High Road ]
[ Because Now You Know ]
[ If You Continue To Be Suckered Into Their Happy Abode ]
[ It Just Sets You Up To Be In The Middle Of Another One Of Their Shit Show’s ]

[ Now YOU Should Pull Up Your Big Boy Pants ]
[ To Take A Stand ]
[ Trying To Avoid The Insects & Ants ]
[ & Draw Your Own Line In The Sand ]
