Born and raised in South Africa. Traditional farm girl who grew up with one older sister and two younger brothers. Married at 21 and had my twin boys at age 27. They are my pride and joy. My first Poetry Journal was just published (2017) the fruit of my past. Memoirs by Katie Pelser. Available on Amazon. I am learning to love life.
I own my pain in the back of my head
All the endless nights of shame ruining
My life all the same, all in vein
My broken life, running on pain
...
I'm going to sing you a song
Not a poem just a silly song
Not a love song or a rhyme
Just a plain old fashioned lullaby
...
Regardless, I am abundantly broken
With my hands tied behind my back
Eye set one on me and one on you
Breakable a chain of emotions
...
I'm drawing a picture
A random drawing of me
Lines across my face
Blood against my wrists
...
