Where Were You at 23?

Prompt by Sam Kimberle

Postpartum depression and separation from my one and only.

Two babies, no money, surrounded by millions and lonely.

Suicidal and stressed in Pasadena, I knew life would be better without me.

I felt worn out and old, too old, to be where I was at twenty three.
