When I was born, nobody came into the world.
When I looked in the mirror, nobody looked back.
When I was 10, nobody played with me.
When I left at 15, nobody said goodbye.
When I came home hurt, nobody said hello.
When I looked in the mirror, nobody looked back.
When I was 23 I looked again I saw a woman and a man.
Who is she, that she can make nobody go away?
When I was 25 I looked again, they had a child I saw and nobody stayed away.
When I was 29 She was there again 2 children at her side, and nobody stayed away.
When I was 40 one child I saw, the other was far away.
When I was 50 only the man and woman I saw, with nobody far away.
When I was 56 only the woman I saw, alone in the sun.
With nobody at her side.
When I looked in the mirror, nobody looked back.
Now I have gone, nobody will say that I have ever been but the woman.
Nobody was there at the beginning.
Nobody was there at the end.
Nobody is her companion now.
Just as if I had never been.
Stupidity was the game I played
Sadness was my reward.
Nobody won all the games in my life.
And now….he’s won again.

I wrote this about a time in my life that was bad. But God is a great healer as I am here to testify.
