Is a Divorce The Answer
Is That What I Need
I'm a married woman
Committing adultery,
Is divorce the answer
Would it really set me free?
My husband and I are no longer together
But I can't put him in the past,
Should I give my marriage another go
Could we make it last?
I know I'm not happy now
But is the problem here,
If I was to go away
Would the problem disappear?
Maybe the problem is me
Or something festering inside,
Maybe if I was to go away
My problems would come for the ride.
I'm trying sort myself out
But someone's getting hurt on the way,
So maybe I should forget it all
And me and my problems stay.
So I ask again
Would I really be free,
Should I divorce my husband
Is that what I need?

About the Creator

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

The Longest Language Journey Back
When you have a godawful experience for years (perhaps French lessons) and need to write about it as part of the healing process and already you feel parts of your cognitive machinery trying to “clean it up” (guess it’s French lessons) for public viewing by default since it’s likely to make some toes curl up (sorry, but definitively French lessons.)
