Life Stinks Before 30!

I wasted my youth watching TV; I was so deeply depressed; nothing interesting in this world could I see. I have a terrible medical history; For many years, my silence, immaturity, and anger were a mystery. It is quite an injustice and makes me irate, depressed, and rude; When parents think that all their childrens' problems can be solved by eating natural food. You're supposed to have a doctor check you out; When something seems wrong, and you don't know what it's about. But, I made it all the way to college; And had acquired a lot of knowledge. No doctors and no prescription drugs?; From my parents; just vitamins, liver powder mixtures, and cod liver oil chugs. Not all problems from which you hide; Can be solved by eating foods without pesticide. Now that I'm older, I know they just wanted a normal kid; So, from the truth, my parents hid. And, with all of those problems to recover from, I escaped into the world of drugs and starvation; In and out of hospitalization. Alone and depressed and used and abused; I was a lost soul who was very confused. Until I finally met one of the brightest men I've ever known; We just had a private common-law wedding; so, I know my life isn't blown. Now, we've been together for over seven years; There has been much joy and many tears.
