My Life In Numbers Poem by Janis Land Raymer

10: the age I realized how cruel children could be
09: the many nights looking for him in bars, or watching him hit her
08: the year it really changed, Cory born and he married her
07: going back and forth, like a football, from one team to the next
06: trying to deal with questions to afraid to ask
05: not completely sure how the changes work or affect me
04: remember the one violent act I saw and could never forget
03: weekends with mama and papa, perfect...happiest days of my life
02: just a baby myself, noting do I recall
01: mom and dad got married young, possibly a warning to us all.
