For example, the poem “Unhappiness” was written at a time in my life when I should be happy with a husband and two children. My marriage was a disaster, having broken an engagement to my first love, who I hadn’t seen in three years for being in foreign service. I never intended for this to happen, but this person (my husband) was very forceful on me. The result was my pregnancy. We were married, for I had no choice.
I tried to make the best of my marriage despite my guilt. No matter how much I tried, my husband had problems of his own. He had a split personality. I endured his mouth and filthy mind and never fought back. I became inhibited and swallowed much. This had a psychological effect on me. I was unhappy and trapped to the core and suffered a guilty conscience as to what I had done to my first love. After ten years of being married, I received heart-piercing news that my first love had taken his life in a suicide. If my conscience was bad before, you can imagine how heartsick I was and still am to this day. There isn’t a night that goes by that I don’t think or dream about him and ask for forgiveness for what I had done. I had never stopped loving him, and I hope I will see him again someday.ver menos
