42

42 resaons to laugh

to cry

to hide

168 seasons to heal

that broken heart inside

21 years of disaster

mistakes

pain

sorrow

18 years of regret

back-stabbing 

lying

screaming

17 years of despise

distrusts

disgust

14 years of dimmed lights

poor sights 

and fighting

42

42 days of hell

and the road that dwelled

42

at 11 young lady

at 12 a woman too soon

at 19 a wife

at 20 divorced

42

13 bewildered

14 de-sheltered

42

15 lost

16 found

42

at 29 the candel is yet lit but is blown at 30

42

35 bruises

36 contusions 

42 migranes

42 advil

42 tears

42 sobs

42

42

42

42

42

92 looks good right about now.....
