Array ( [sid] => 60454 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Life [time] => 2004-08-17 14:22:38 [hometext] => An insight to how my life has unfolded over the past 21 years..... [bodytext] => At the tender age of one,
My new life had just begun,
I was amazed by this big wide world,
A sweet & innocent baby girl.

The terrible twos came next,
Which left my parents feeling vexed,
Kicking, screaming tantrums galore,
As I threw my little body on the floor.

But at the age of three,
I no longer wanted to be sat on a knee,
Running about all over the place,
Like I was competing in some kind of race.

Four was the next age up,
I was still like an excited little pup,
All blonde hair & cute smiles,
People admiring all the while.

At the boisterous age of five,
I was like a buzzing bee in the hive,
Ready & eager or my first day at school,
Already wanting to break the rules.

Six I loved being active & playing with dolls,
Running around had not yet taken toll
I was enjoying my years of being a child,
Getting away with acting a bit wild.

Age seven I saw life as a bouncy castle,
With no hurt, pain or hassle,
Attending friends parties & eating cake,
On Sundays me & mum would bake.

As I turned the age of Eight,
I was ready to leave my parents gate,
Thought I was grown up & ready,
But still I slept with my cuddly teddy.

Nine is where my problems started,
My biological mum & earth departed,
I was no longer a happy bunny,
I felt quite strange & very funny.

Ten I was becoming more of a handful,
Developing the temper of an angry bull,
Attitude had changed, I wasn’t the same,
Never again would I be silently tame.

When I was of age eleven,
I wanted to go to heaven,
I became the victim of abuse,
My soul began to run out of juice.

By the young age of Twelve,
Into drinking & sex did I delve,
Staying out really late,
My head was in quite a state.

Thirteen was for me so unlucky,
My parents had to be very plucky,
After I was raped I was put into care,
I didn’t think anyone was really there.

Fourteen & the drinking worsened,
I was far from being a loving person,
Filled with hate & pain & fears,
That has tailed me for so many years.

As my age grew so did my rage,
Fifteen I was, another turn of the page,
All I wanted was cigarettes & alcohol,
In my mind this was everyone else’s fault.

Sweet Sixteen wasn’t what so ever sweet,
I felt the world fall at my feet,
Mum & Dad didn’t want me nor this kid’s home,
Now I felt like I was truly alone.

At Seventeen I suffered a psychosis,
My teenage years were far from bliss,
I went into hospital to get some help,
Finally I wanted someone to hear my yelps.

Eighteen the age I have long awaited,
Now I was there I hesitated,
Suicide attempts & self harm,
Had wreaked havoc on my mind & arm.

Nineteen was the age I fell in love,
With a man who was from above,
My drinking still was an issue,
But now someone was there to hand me a tissue.

As I reached the age of twenty,
I had love & problems still aplenty,
But now had strength to learn to deal,
At last get of this spinning wheel.

Finally key to the door, twenty-one,
My rain has now been replaced with sun,
I still do have a long way to go,
But Mark is here to soften the blow.

Pixie, I cannot believe that I am first to post a comment ... the tale of your years drew in in and enveloped me with emotional empathy. So happy am I that Mark has arrived and reached out to you. I wish you both a much gentler journey. Your writings are a treasure.

Nazmythian ~
