When they were younger

I had a reason then. I had a purpose. Almost every woman goes through this; but I wasn't sure I would. After all, I'm Me. I started with one. The very light of my life. But everything died one day and scrambling seemed to be all that was left. Ok, I can do this. Mistakes made along the way; dumb decisions; people getting in the way. I thought we were happy for a while but then all the denial came into the place. The deep hidden place. "You can't run away from it." Oh, yes I can, because I'm Me.
