More poetry!!

ONLY BY YOU

This lore is for a woman, see

She causes my poetry to be free

I will attempt to create a parallel

Between a Jeep Commanche and life's carousel

The circle of life is without a definition of the end

HIghs, lows, where will you be sent?

Life twists us into nuts

-- makes all of us at times look like a klutz

Is it life that gets broken?

Or maybe it's full of lessons unspoken

And in times of a really bad low

We wonder who has hold of the rope tow

There's a man who was in my life

His way of treating me was full of strife

Yet it was in the solving of my troubles

I learned that life always rolls in doubles

I can either learn a lesson and not another reach

Or I can speak out and with golden nuggets teach

I cannot help but notice when

I try to help another, I start talking about where I've been

This man who caused trouble would use force

To show that he was the authority in the course.

But in the end I learned his weakness was

Not being able to speak quietly simply, because

He believed I would try to steal the upper hand

It was my ADD and ADHD he did not understand

And so with force he attempted to push me out of me

I became withdrawn, moody, and easily defensive.  PTSD

This is my story and my past

Yet this year I am stronger than the last

I'm not here to tell you what to do

I'm just here to say, life doesn't have to be done only by you.

Now you may be asking "What does this have to do with Jeep's?"

I gotta admit that this poem might not have a single peep

But this feminine friend of mine has put a choke to the writer's throat

It's got to have as little about her, so this what I wrote.
