Who Ever Imagined

By: Lorinda McCall-Owens

No one would ever imagine what life has brought me through,

It seemed as if each and every day there is something new.

I did not know what I was going to do.

Who ever imagined the pain in life that different situations may give,

With people always mistreating me, and the way I feel.

Who ever imagined how these things were affecting the way I live,

The things that were happening didn’t even seem real.

There was not any room for me to exhale,

All I could think about was how my self esteem would fail.

Who ever imagined the things that I did right,

Not even the tears that I cried every night.

Hoping someone would lend a helping hand,

But yet they just didn’t understand.

Who ever imagined what life has brought me through,

It seemed as if each and every day there is something new,

At the end of it all I yet know what to do.
