I Lost

When Dad called me ugly, stupid and worthless, as that little girl, I lost! When my mother couldn’t protect me from the cruelty and abuse at home, I lost! When a bad man came into my room and frightened me me as that little girl, I lost! When my boyfriend blackened my Eyes and fractured my cheekbone, I lost! When my precious dogs, Rocky and Brownie died in my arms, I lost! When a car struck me causing me to suffer life altering injuries, I lost! When I received the call Your Mother is dead, I lost! When I watched my loving and honorable Brother, Jimmy succumb to cancer, I lost! When I realize there isn’t anyone Or anything else to fight for, I say to you for one last and final time, I lost!
