I
went along with everything
I
did what was expected
Though
when I am alone
I
feel I’ve been rejected
I
wasn’t smart enough
At
Penn State to succeed
Just
wanted to have fun
A
flunk out guaranteed
I
married very young
Was
very immature
Gave
birth to 2 grown sons
With
me they now ignore
Suffering
from depression
A
battle hard to fight
Had
suicide attempts
But
then I chose to write
I
loved it in the past
When
ideas often came
Published
in a newsletter
I
had a bit of fame
In
psychiatric hospitals
I’ve
been to in years past
It
causes me embarrassment
It’s
nothing to broadcast
My husband’s very helpful
He loves me very much
I couldn’t live without him
Although we never touch
Despite
my major surgeries
I’ve
tried to stay in shape
There
is no great escape
