Do I Really Know My Self

I wake up on a bright summer day (its raining)
Its 14th March 2002 looking forward to it all (its really august 2008)
I'm in school and hating it (I'm a full time employee)
I get bullied all the time bruises all over (Ive not been attacked in 5 years)
I'm in foster-care and glad (I really own my own home)
I'm craving a boyfriend (I actually married)
My dream is to be a wife and mother (Which is what I am)

I dont reconise this bed Im in.
Who is the man next to me.
I slowly try to fine the bathroom.
I open the door and I see two gorgeous babies.
I'm scared and cant breathe.
That scary man is trying to cuddle me.

'Nicole, your safe'
'I'm your husband'
Petrified I run to see my reflection in something.
My,My I've grown.
I watch a video of the last 6 years so much I've missed.

My heart sinks. I lost two children.
I'm married with another two.
'How did this happen?' I ask.
His softly spoken anwser sooths me
'There was complications when you miscarried. But were ok'

I find comfort in his voice like Ive known him for years.
So afraid to let him in, I do it anyway.
Those two gorgeous babies my jamie and louise.
As love fills my heart, Memories come flooding back.

    aww....

    wow what a powerful piece. i love that it tells a story... the story is a sad one however. my heart sincerely goes out to you.

    lovely write dear. it's confusing but i think that's the idea you're trying to convey, that you've gone through many confusing times in your life and the focus of this poem (the past couple of years) is no exception.

    excellent work.

    best wishes dear and best of luck
