I Want My Life Back Poem by Joanne Dix

Here I sit writing on my laptop.
Here I don’t have to deal with life, I’m just a troubled house wife.
Here is where I always sit my outlook on life seems to have quit.

I’m here because I know not where to go, I feel so very alone.
I want to be out there doing things but my outlook on life seems rather dim.
I used to be happy and care free, then someone started shouting at me.
I’ve never been treated this way before I just want to curl up and bawl.

My life used to be so carefree, its not what it used to be.
I’m stuck in a loveless marriage, I feel I’ve become a coward.
I used to be tough and strong, the world I felt I could take on.
This man has destroyed my inner being.
This man is driving me insane. I feel like I’m losing it over and over again.

I do need help this I know, its hard to admit when u loved someone so.

My heart has stopped loving and body aches, I no longer love him its all turned to hate.
He doesn’t love me I know this now.
How can he say he loves me when he doesn’t know how.

His verbal abuse I can take no more.
Its time that I showed him the open door.
I want my life back the way it was.
I want to be out there having fun.
I want it to be over, I want the shouting to stop.
I need some peace and tranquillity, please help me make it stop.
