Thanks For Asking

Yes, I am fine thanks for asking
Am I? How do you really know?
Could it just be feelings I am masking
Always trying to protect others from suffering a blow
Jolt after jolt, punch after punch
Knock me down I get up weary but still fighting
I won't let you win or get the best of me haven't gotten the hunch
Hiding how I truly feel is what I do best because I'm tired of my faults being highlighted
This one and that one, that one and this have your own opinions of who I truly am
My children know and love me inside and out
Others don't give a damn
They would be the ones to miss me if I checked out
Never taken seriously just thought to be a silly notion
Heard not listened just turn away and pretend like I'm not here and don't matter
Dismissed by invisible emotion
I do feel and when I am raw and ready to shatter
No one cares or asks what's the matter
Time will tell how and when I will disappear
My life will never truly be mine
Don't worry there's nothing to fear
You'll have your time to shine
Sorry to be  a burden
Life will go on
I wish some would listen all I want is to be heard
How will I be remembered when I'm gone
It's not about everyone else it hurts I internally bleed
Left will scars both visible and unseen
You'll finally be free
Understand know what I mean
I will cry when I feel it in me
Need to let it out 
Won't be made to feel like I'm a complete washout
Perfection I am not, aimed at and blamed
Tired of playing this abusive game
Yup, I'm fine thanks for asking

Stand Up

Time to stand up
No more sitting and waiting for the blaming
Don’t want to feel like I have to give up
For the ones that love to do the shaming
Never see the good only what wasn’t done right
That’s why it is time for me to stand up and fight
Fight to be seen as an adult who can make a decision
Decisions that don’t need to be part of an inquisition
There is much needed distance
Space that is needed for me to find where exactly I am in existence
Focusing on my children to be innocent and free
Need to remove all the toxic drama and unnecessary debris
People without demands or expectations, not changing who you are
Because that will only scar
Let the kids finally be who they truly are
Each will be their own true star
Not based on everyone else's judgement or unsupportive opinion
And not to be used as your own little minion
It’s time to stand up
