giving up my dreams
means i have to face reality
one i’m not ready to
am i strong enough to?
could i survive
will i die
will i ever be the same
hardly recognize myself
trauma and the world have changed me
i lost myself in creating life
but when that life died
i died
a little more each day
slowly rotting
always changing
into a different state of being
never the same
not myself
with my baby
God took my breath
i am lost
can’t find a way
to heal
to make this self real
to learn who i am
say how do you do
nice to meet you
you look sad
what has life done
who have you lost
what have you become?
