I Am Broken Strength
Funny, kind, caring, crazy,
these are the words used to describe me.
Little do they know I paint on a mask,
Smiling day in and day out is such a daunting task.
I wake up every day and find the strength for the never ending,
because on me, my kids are depending.
I show them every day forward is the only direction,
They don’t know what it’s like to battle depression.
What I would give for them reaches far and wide,
ignoring the feeling burning deep inside.
I make sure they never feel this pain,
and I show them every day to dance in the rain.
The light at the end of the tunnel shines bright,
and that is where I set my sight.
Though I may be broken and torn,
A suit of armor will always be worn.
