Rebuilding a Home After Divorce #VocalNPM

I started hanging family pictures today with a song in my mind and happiness of heart
That feeling did not last long
I sat down slow, struggled to breathe surrounded by the feeling the everything is drowning me
how can I hang pictures that I only want to burn?
My family is torn apart permanently and here I am trying to figure out how to display a past that was fictional in reality
I am beyond exhausted trying to hold up my babies broken hearts while surrounding myself with memories that feel like shards
I take two steps forward only to be thrown six months back
I need my smile to be authentic I need my heart to be calm I’m not sure how to forget this pain and accept the death of that dream
