Still Here

In my late teens I wanted to die. I wanted the pain to end, believing that no one would care or miss me. In my mind's eye I never saw 20's or joy. I surely never saw love. In my early 40s I wanted to die...never seeing true-love or wanting to experience pain "like that ever again." I never saw the sunrise, never saw the Monarch and never saw reconciling with my mom. Today, I love. I've decided I'll do this "life" one day at a time, in the spirit of LOVE! Because I am so LOVED! 

I'm so glad I stayed...
