Trapped and lonely

[Just Me]

Everyday I wake
Look across at him
Give a sigh inside my head
And know I am lonely.

Expectations were such
I had to be with a man
Married with a child
Was the only way to be.

It never felt right
I dreamed of a new life
25 years on I'm still here
Trapped and lonely.

One day I'll 'come out'
Be a free woman
Feel right inside
Be true to myself.

Tough situation, but we've had this conversation before, haven't we? Only you can make a decision about if and when to do something about it.

It's no secret I made a bad decision at a very young age (although I will never regret the consequences of experiencing fatherhood for myself) and tried to make that relationship work for near enough 30 years (including being married for more than twenty of them). Mother Nature gets her own way in the end. It has taken work and a lot of emotional upheaval, but I am so pleased to be able to experience a wonderful loving relationship with my dear pricealbertofb.

Best wishes to you.
