When your in a court room the judge can yell out of order
But what about in life
We each can be the judge, jury, and executioner
We create are lives the way we would like things to go
But what happens when things don't always go according to plan
I sit in the corner
My head hanging down low
My stomach in a knot
My thoughts rushing to and fro
Lived Experiences
Lessons Learned
I think about how I should be happy it's going to be my birthday
Then I see it
A post on Facebook by a so called friend
Once again my confidence destroyed
My ideas played out by someone else as if they were their own
I'm still waiting
Waiting on that message reply
I think can you uninvite someone to your birthday dinner
I am reminded of a time
A time where I was invited to a wedding
I asked if I could bring family member A to go in the place of family member B, who was invited
Well let's just say I ended up not being able to go
My heart ached all over again
I'm brought back to my younger years
All the back stabbing
All the ill will done towards me
It's triggering
I see all the times others turned on me
Told my secrets
A story not theirs to tell
I try to bottle up the emotions I feel inside
I'd rather go back to avoiding all the troubled times
Run and Hide
You already have a reservation my inner voice says inside my head
I'd rather delete my social media accounts
Go back to sitting at home by myself
But you're doing it for your Mental Health
But how can something be good for your mental health when it feels like Betrayal
I'm back in my head to where I was 5 years ago
Another friendship ruined by another's decision not to have my back
Or the other times my own blood turned on me
Time and Time Again
Like a repeated nightmare I must bare
I'm the judge, jury, and executioner
This is my life
I decide who goes or who stays
Another bridge to burn
A path that seems more clear
I turn around
Walk away
I only want those in my life who actually want to be here!

Who Am I?
I keep asking myself. I spent half of my life as a single mother. Pushing myself to be the strong independent individual that I have always been. My kids have grown and my life seems turned upside down.
I now search to find myself!
