Alone and Angry - Sordid Sixty: Day 51

Re-emerging

I’m alone - and angry.

I never planned to be alone - let alone in a foreign country.

I left for a man who could not leave his country.

He’s alone, too - but he’s still leeching life from other people.

He lied to me.

I left my home for a lie.

I invested into an even bigger lie - the promise of a future.

And now I’m 60 - and I invested a lifetime in a lie.

“The age is obviously a problem.” said my brother when we talked about finding employment -

at home.

I tried to make a home in the foreign land.

Made a home for others, but not me.

And they didn’t want me here - they just wanted my labor.

not me.

Nothing will change as long as I don’t make the change.

Anger is only the start - I will use it as fuel,

because

how dare they!
