Mary Nagy Poems

Ok, I normally keep my cool.
I rarely get THAT mad.
I wanted to knock her teeth out!
Oh yes, it was that bad!
...

It was my 22nd birthday.
I had just given birth to our 2nd daughter
1 month earlier.
...

I've been told that I'm an ''open book''.
I leave nothing to guess.
If you asked me if it's true
I'd simply answer ''yes''.
...

I'm tired of them asking ''What is it that you're on? ''
Why can't I just be happy with this life I've stumbled on?

My brother says that with each day he sees me it is worse.
...

Sitting there watching them
they had no idea
they were such an inspiration
so comfortable with eachother.
...

As I stumbled through the darkness
groping at anything to get my bearings
I tried to feel for something that was familiar
yet I recognized nothing.
...

It hit me this morning...
she's really turning 20 today.

How can that be when I still see her
...

The tub was quickly filling just like everyday before.
Today, something was different and it burned within my core.

As I was gently lounging, just letting the tub fill
...

Never trust a woman.
When will I learn this rule?
Each time I let my guard down
I'm left looking like a fool.
...

When she first saw him walking like a God down to the lake
she knew it was the last free breath that she would ever take.

Right then and there she knew it, her world forever changed.
