Solving My Life

Battered and bruised I stand alone

writing on my life's board

with the last chip of chalk

Shaking between trembles

my knees are weakened

my soul even weaker in your grip

The algebra of life

has never made much sense to me

but I shall not give up

Not until I find the solution

of how to be free

from you

Thank You for Your Entry ~

I love the third stanza because it is how I've often thought myself; my husband is a mathematician and yet I can't stand maths

best of luck

This is a great write, from beginning to end I can relate the whole way through. I love "Battered and bruised I stand alone

writing on my life's board

with the last chip of chalk

Shaking between trembles

my knees are weakened

my soul even weaker in your grip" <---- this part because it can relate to so many different situations that have to do with love. Perfect write!
