Im sorry you see

I'm sorry, You see

To my three beautiful boys
I'm sorry, you see
Mum's not quite been the same lately 
But I promise I'm getting better 
I owe it to both you and me 

To my family and friends 
I'm sorry, you see
If I've ignored calls and texts 
I know it's only because you care for me
But some days it's been a struggle just to function and think lately 

To anyone who relates to this
 I'm sorry, you see
But I hope you understand even the strongest struggle sometimes 
Be it anyone,  even you or me

"But I hope you understand even the strongest struggle sometimes". Sending "LOVE", what could be stronger amunition than Love. You are much stronger than you know. And you are not alone, even when you think you are....

You have my respect, firstly for such a brave write and secondly for the passion that produced a poem that is hopeful and does not dwell on negativity but shows strength and maturity in the writing of it, The poem is well constructed and flows together nicely. Will definitely read more of your work. You have earned a place on poetry soup for as long as you want. Hopefully you now can enjoy the feeling of sunshine on your shoulders most days.

Dear ailsa, i feel the sincerity of your heartfelt words woven here in such a poignant manner. Life is not always butterflies and rainbows and it definitely isnt easy, and especially somedays like youv said it can be harder and self isolation the only answer, as everything gets overwhelming. I hope and pray for better days. You are stronger than you know.Happy mothers day. Sending you light today and always. Congratulations on your win.
