Was it Never Meant to Be?

She was a little girl about the age of eleven;
Things for her seemed to be heaven.
Fate seemed to be on her side, until her eyes finally opened wide, to see the big picture which would soon fit her well.

Broken Heart

The life she thought swell turned into a split world of change.
BANG! The letters yelled out to her, DIVORCE. It was written on the paper in her head all spelled in dark red.
Doors that were once open suddenly slammed in her face, she thought she lost her place.
She had just lost the thing that to her had no cost, the love of a total family.
Her world began to swirl with anger and hatred at the people she thought had made it that way.
The days passed and she tried to be as good as she could, hoping, waiting, and praying for it all to be a dream.
Until, she realized that its life and sometimes people can’t stay husband and wife.
She would cry, scream, and try to be mean until her face turned dark blue, but she could not continue.
She would tell herself, “I guess this is what’s on fates menu for my life.
It’s time to grow up and time to act tough.”
From there she would pull her hair out trying to shout all the unspoken feelings.
The little girl would change her ways even if her situation was a little strange.
She loved her parents dearly, but she clearly needed to be the bigger person.
Her life was not easy, and she knew this was true.
Why live her life so unhappy and blue when she should be true to herself.
It started that day, that she would be a woman.
She would grow up and never be the same.
She took the stand and demanded to be heard.
They would listen to every word and sit there being silent.
Not knowing that what she had to say would not be violent like the little kid she really was.
Only love filled words, which needed to be spoken and needed to be relieved of the entire burden she had. She knew what was at stake when she chooses to risk fate on that unlucky date.
Maybe that day she became a woman, but she is never too quick to question fate because it works in weird ways.
You’ll find her today not wasting away but growing stronger from the situation.
Remember; never underestimate what fate can do.
