I tried to hold on tight
As tight as I possibly could
The tears began to swell
I fought with all my might
But I was NOT Strong Enough
I look back thinking to myself
What could I have done differently
With hopes and dreams lingering within my mind
To see them crushed
Shattered all around me on the ground
I fall to my knees in despair
All that's left is Pain and Darkness
Hopelessness and Frustration
Who Am I Now
I'm not that same individual I once was
Fearless and Full of Life
Traveling and Exploring New Places
Dancing with the Rhythms of the Music
Creating Beautiful Memories and Works of Art
I look in the mirror and all I see is tired and worn out
Damaged beyond all repair
A fountain of youth now drained
The last few drops trickling out onto the mud below
The sadness is all that is left
The pain, the worries they have a hold on me now
Forever trapped in a vicious cycle
They are trying to drag me down
Yet I fight
I turn my eyes up to the sky
And I pray to the Creator
I can't do this alone
No more
I mourn
I mourn for the person I once was
If I could go back
Oh how I wish I could
I would do things differently
Cause After It's Gone... Life Just Isn't The Same!

Who Am I?
I keep asking myself. I spent half of my life as a single mother. Pushing myself to be the strong independent individual that I have always been. My kids have grown and my life seems turned upside down.
I now search to find myself!
