Unbearable Poem by Lyn Paul

Unbearable

Rating: 4.5


I married him
Not to know
I was marrying her too
She interfered
At any chance she could
Slowly
It became unbearable
They
Made every decision
Over powering
Over whelming
Now over
They took so much
From me
Still
Domineering
Without me
Still interfering
In what I created
Ruling everyone's lives

Simply....
Unbearable!

Marriage is difficult enough without without the disruption of outside influences- -unnecessary added pressures. Sad and meaningful offering!

You have penned touchingly how life has unbearable pain after marriage. Often love, affection, empathy are lost. Some domineer. I quote... They took so much From me Still Domineering Without me Still interfering In what I created Ruling everyone's lives Beautifully crafted. Thanks for sharing.

Gosh I thought westerners are totally free from in law interference n problems. This poem surprises me. But I still tink yor mom inlaws have far less say n power than Indian mom inlaws. But things are changing now n the last few years has seen dominant daughter in laws among indians too. So yor poem showed the afterall similar human conditions very nicely in a wry way. Long may u write out yor heart pal.

I understand your Situation! Marriage is not always smooth. It has its own problems as well. Do take things very easy; for peace than hatred. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
