My Life Poem by Lisa Knipe

Well, what can I say about my life? Yeah, I gotta admit it's been like everyone elses, been tough but got there in the end. I've had ups and downs, that I thought was going to break me but, to be honest it only made me stronger. I've never had much confident inside myself and my life that I was living. I've had lots of bad things happen to me in my life but we won't go into that. I'll say a few; discovering my Granddad had cancer, being attacked on my own brother's wedding night and having my two fingers by a man who had no idea he was doing it, and the police letting him off. I believe everything that's happened in my life has happened for a reason. I think I can complain but I'm not going to. Every since my Granddad died of cancer (who wrote 'Angels') , I lost all my self esteem and I had thought I would never win it back, but I did. I've had my real, true friends who stood by me when I was at my lowest. I've had my family who there no matter what. I always knew there was something missing, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I found out I was missing someone to love me like my Granddad did towards my Nan. I went with a boy, who never spoke to me or anything, it was longest 6 weeks of my life. I'm glad we ended it, or I would never be with my fiancé (Ryan) . At the moment life is great, certain people maybe missing but, I know they're with me. I've got everything I've needed at the moment: family, friends (who have always put up with me) , Ryan and happiness. What else could a girl want?
