Why does it start?
Will it ever end?
The dysfunction eating away at your soul
Till you feel so empty and no longer whole.
Why did it choose me, why is this my reality?
The pendulum swings, and soon it becomes your normality
Functionally ever after
Can it be?
They say to keep the faith
Guess I’ll hold on another day
And see.
Functionally ever after
Is it meant for me?
Guess I’ll hold on another day
And see.
What life does it pick?
How can a person become so sick?
I didn’t choose these parents
I didn’t choose this life
Why should I pay the price?
Their dysfunction became my everyday rife
The odds are against me, I feel they are stacked
I should learn to hang on to maybe the fact
That they could be worse on so many levels
That one day, maybe I will conquer these devils
Free will is a gift from above
Grabbing a hold tightly of this gift of love
Learning to stop getting so lost in the past
To know this does not have to last
Some days are easy, while others are hard
Choosing the way I want to play this card
It’s time to take a stand
God please do not let go of this hand
Functionally ever after
Can it be?
They say to keep the faith
Guess I’ll hold on another day
And see.
Functionally ever after
Is it meant for me?
Guess I’ll hold on another day and see

Thank you for this poem. It really shows the determination to make it through. No matter what.
You are so welcome and I am so happy that you could see that in my words.
Much love Amelia!

Thank you Tammy. Beautifully written. I began crying immediately. A good cathartic cry. I am going to copy your poem and read it every morning to inspire me to try to live another day “functionally”. Peace and love to you.
Thank you SO much Cathy!
I was born into complete and utter dysfunction and abuse. I used to always ask why me(because of my past)I now ask why me(because of all the blessings I have in my life now), and I have come to realize God has always had a purpose for me, and kept me safe..
It was my choice what to do with it when I was able.. I wonder how I ever survived what i did, and my children were truly my saving grace.
Our history of dysfunction was just terrible and I refused to allow it to carry to my children. I did not care what it took, and never gave up trying.
Hang in there , and know please, YOU DESERVE EVERY bit of joy, love and happiness life has to offer!
Much love to you!
Wow I had no idea! Where did you learn how to do that?
Love you,
