*CAN I STILL GET BACK?*
Once upon a time,
I used to be loved
I used to be my parents pride but,
A little mistake,
Changed it all
I felt lonely
I needed help but there was nobody to care for
It seems the whole universe has turned
Their backs against me.
Yes, I know I made a mistake
I had a baby out of wedlock,
To them,
I brought shame and embarrassment but,
It was just a mistake.
Why is it taking too long to forgive and forget,
Why do I have to get the blame alone,
Now, I look like the bad child because,
I had a baby,
What if I had done abortion,
Will I still look like their precious child?
I know the DIGINITY of a woman is gone but,
It was all a mistake
I thought keeping the child will mean something
But, I was wrong
People look at me with
Disappoint,
Shame,
Please how do I recover from this
I am still the good child but,
One mistake changed it all
Dear Sisters,
The question to ask yourself,
When I recover, what will I do?
When i recover, will i still be the same?
Will i be stronger, will become new,
Can life get better than it was before?
Will people still remember your name,
Or will they forget you because they're ashamed?
Life in recovery may not be the same but,
You can pick up the pieces and make a new start,
The journey takes time and might not be long
For depression can kill, but you have survived.
Your goal to recover has kept you alive.
Now you're recovered, what will you do?
You suffered and conquered and saw it through.
Back from the black and unfair of life
It is time to move on; it is time to care.
Don't let the mistake stop you from achieving your dreams.
YOU CAN GET BETTER!!!
