Discovering how protected I was from the dangers of the world.

I opened the door earlier than I was supposed to.

I climbed the tree that was kept above me.

I played the forbidden tune.

And now I had to dance to its beat.

I look at it all and I am shocked

Why did nobody tell me

That the word is tragedy

A series is ups and downs

Like a roller coaster.

They hid it from me

The turmoil, the health complications

Everything in life was supposed to be straightforward

And we weren’t supposed to have problems.

So what happened? Why did my health fail me so badly?

Why did I work with the most horrible people who wanted to sabotage my life and career, make me look incompetent??

I built relationships from ground zero to now.

I fought hard and hard, and I’m still fighting.

I just wish I had known earlier, that life wasn’t a bed of roses.
