BREAKPOINT
Sometimes
when you least expect
Your life takes a tuen
for the better
or the worst
You are filled with questions
Open ended
Seemingly impossible to answer
Someone once said
the best you can do
is to have faith
and to trust in the goodness of Man
Sometimes though it is hard
when filled iwth self -doubt and recriminations
and depression
Everything seeems skewed
from a different direction
But one thing I am certain
My life has to change
Since I am reaching
the end of my tether
About this poem
This is another of the poems I wrote whilst facing the truth about the life that was my life, keeping up appearances for the sake of image and family and the children while all the while the truth is tearing you apart.
