Thorns In My Side Poem by Frieda Lumpkins

God, Why want they stop
Every time they go by, my heart just drops
It's been a all day thing today
And all I want is. for them to go the other way

Everyday that I see them, my chest gets tight
They have to stop, Because I don't want to lose this fight
Because he has to pay, for taking my Husband of 24 years
The one that to this day we all hold so dear

People say, just shut your door and your shades
But, why should I do that, he has already taken my life away
There are many way's to go around where I live
But in their eye's, they are not going to give

The pain, torment, harassment, Down to earth uncaring
This is how I feel and my pain, I am sharing
To set here and watch this everyday
Has truly taken my kids moma away

But you know what? He is not getting me
The way he took my kid's daddy, you see
Because I want to live, to see them pay
For the pain they have cause me everyday

It's been eight to ten time's, they have drove by
I know it's happening, I see it with my own eye's
Your staring is getting on my nerves
And one day I hope you get what you deserve
