My Heartstring No Longer Play Like A Harp Poem by Shirley Harrison

There was an actual time in my life
that I was completely lost and alone
alone, even when I was in company
see, I used to choose the wrong people, the wrong love

lack of life experience
I lacked confidence
I let others who were bullies
take me down

and even though
that time in my life was
painful and dark
I was fragile

and couldn't see my way through
to the beauty of possibility
In the end, I did
even today, I have no regrets

because
It was my personal learning curve
fortunately, I gained my knowledge
I gained my courage
I grew to love myself

and now a day's...

my heartstrings no longer play like a harp.
