: Life by Bucketlist
Rhyming Poetry Contest contest entry

If I knew then what I know now
Would my life have changed somehow?
Of course
I would have laughed more
Until I made my belly sore
Like most
The little things that get cha
I never should have metcha
Wrong move
The love I knew then was pure
Assumed better would endure
Big mistake
Family rarely had to say “I'm wrong”
Thought same would come along
False assumption
I would not have stayed with you
  You felt the same way too
But children I bore
I realize now I've been a fool
People pleaser tool
For romantic love
But the path I used had no Dove
No good match to speak of
Bad choice 
Abuse, intimidation took their toll
Constant stress health in a hole
Hindsight taught
Left with stress related health
Instead of physical wealth
Too late
Now in my ‘Golden’ years I pray
I'm left with God's Grace each day
His love I found
The point I'm trying to make
Choice in life has a huge stake
Self love too
Looking back it came with age
Too bad only now I'm sage

Author Notes
Life is too short to spend with a low self esteem.
