On A Journey To The Unknown

When two people decide to get married
It is best not live in between your in-laws
They tend to interfere in your married life
A mother-in-law with so much control always calls

A mother-in-law who drinks as much as he does
Always striking out at you for things you don't do
Leaves you feeling as, if you are ganged up on
And you have absolutely no one you can turn to

With a sister-in-law living on one side of you
And the mother-in-law living on the other side
While they both have such control over him
You have no one with whom you can confide

Even if you did feel like you wanted to cry
There would not be any one who would care
As long as he is always right there with them
Because it is him they do not want to spare

Sometimes it seems the only way to get out
Would be to hope and pray that you would die
Cause you know there is no one there for you
And it wouldn't change a thing for you to cry

You try to make yourself stay real strong
Only to be pulled down even more than before
After awhile you become so tired from stress
That your heart feels like it can't take anymore

You refuse to give in and let yourself even cry
Because you know there is no one to help you
Since there never was anyone there for you before
Just hoping he doesn't decide to become violent too

May I take this one to court??? hehe
Oh, how I sympathize. You always pour your heart into your words. You never hesitate to say exactly what you feel
I admire that
Love

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, this is so very true, sweet friend, one always needs time with oneself and to respect those supporting the marriage as my heart goes out to those that have tarnished relationships with in-laws! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
