Swallered by a whale

[hester_prynne]

Father victim,
Mother angry,
children begotton,
in drunken abandon,
left to bask,
in a lion's den,
or swallered by a whale,
whole.
I was the latter,
sorry for everyone,
hardest,
on myself.
It's a long haul,
to the bottom of the well,
of self loathing,
but now,
having arrived,
I'm free to look
up,
for the rest
of my days.

I can't think of a healthier way to turn adversity into an asset ....
the only thing we have control over, is our attitude.....
