The Journey

The Journey Watching her suffer with a limited life I did not cry Caring and cleaning with all my might I did not cry Groomed and abused before my teens I did not cry Putting daffodils in her hand to say goodbye I did not cry Prison for dad when it wasn’t him I did not cry The family torn apart I did not cry An unsupportive partner in my time of need I did not cry Having to stand on my own two feet I did not cry Struggles to pay bills with a new born I did not cry Escaping from reality I got high Criminal convictions I did not cry Abusive husband and broken finger I did not cry Divorced and insolvent I did not cry Qualifications, supportive partner, happy home life, great job - counselling I cried
