The poem i just sent you my therapist requested I send to all of you FELLOW FOURS. I wrote it while in the midst of an abuisve realtionship with my number ONE hubby. (I am now divorced from him.).To make a long story short I was singing for a living..i was the star of a Production Show in Sun City, SOuth Affrica when things went from bad to worse with the hubby. He just couldnt control me anymore, called me crazy, and had no idea how to DEAL WITH my FOURNESS.
This poem was a part of my "healing process". i wrote it after he had eventually stolen all my money, got violent and almost killed me..Iwas left broke and alone in SOuth Africa..but I managed to get home. I dont think I was mentally in "one piece" though. Since that time I have had very little desire to sing, have been "numbed out" (found a new man number NINE), and am going to therapy and 'doing visual art" I just discovred I was an artist at this late age of 36! ANyway..i hope this poem makes more sense to you all now.
And by thet way..i am not nearly as angry or sarcastic as i was when I wrote it..
Thannks for letting me share it..
