What did poetry do? Poetry was the thing that picked me up, kept me going. Here is my poem.

Strength
Years ago, life hit
Only option was maybe to end it
My heart broke bit by bit
One tear, two tears
The time being, 3 years

A year passed, who knew the pain would last?
One year, more than one tear
A cry of sorrow to any man that hear

Year two, "I love you"
the words that kill,
took my heart to murder hill
destroyed it, bit by bit
that's what we call, a heartbreak hit

Final year, family died
In who would I now confide?
Time passed and finally,
the pain did not last

My Strength gained from a very hurtful past.
