What Happened To Me Poem by Donna Saphier

What Happened To Me



I used to be so happy
Seems like many years ago
Out and about everyday
Always some place to go
My friends thought I was crazy
I was, I must agree
Game for a laugh all the time
'Yes' that sure was me
I've made mistakes, like we all do
Virtually, most of the time
I could be a normal girl
I thought the world was mine
Party-time almost every night
I thought I was the best
Stayed out nearly every night
I didn't stop to rest
Always center of attention
All the eyes on me
But I was still a nice girl
I was lead so easily
Lots of drinking in those days
And lots of late, late nights
Thought I knew most everything
But off more than I could bite
Now I'm older, I can't move
My body's in so much pain
I know now that my body is ruined
And will never be the same
I can hardly stand or walk to far
The pain is so intense
I can't believe I caused all this
And at my own expense
Drinking, smoking, lifestyle
All these things I've done
I never thought all these things
Would have such an outcome
The pain is never ending
My body's oh so sore
I'm absolutely knackered
At the age of forty four.
