Life Stinks Before 30!, by jwhwz Subscribe to rss feed for jwhwz

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.
