I stand here amongst the rubble
My head once held high
Just hanging on
Out from my lips I hear another sign
Filled with disbelief
My world filled with anguish
I grieve for the life I have lost
I ask myself is this a Blessing
Or a Curse
Things have finally slowed down
The first time I could have ever stopped
I try to catch my breath
Eyes blurry full of tears
My mind screams
I fear the chaos will consume me
A life full of dreams
Awaken now
Only to be stuck in nightmares
No friends or family who understand
No one there to hold my hand
I crumble to the ground
Looking for my old self
A fleeting memory
Never to be found
I look to the heavens
I pray to the Creator above
I accept the fact that now I am lost
It's a fact this is my life
A Life in Ruins....
The Aftermath

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!
