To find someone warm
to fill you with kisses
with invisible harm
and to be a 'Mrs.'
To find yourself alone
crying tears of hope
now that he is gone
all you have left is a rope.
To start over and move on
living a hard life
raising your only son
ignoring the looming strife.
To survive the fight
the tears have come and gone
now all wrongs become right
but the battle is done,
the war will be won.
That's what it's like to live... to feel
in this world where you're One.

This poem I like a lot, mainly because of it's meaning. I guess I was imagening the usual life of a single mother, but it started out with my hope of being a Mrs. (I actually do have the dream of being a Mrs. people, as crazy I am, that is a wish that makes me crazier I guess) but then my thoughts got dark as I imagined the marriage going to hell, a divorce, suicidal tendencies, then having to take care of a son, having to fight alone and there is hope in the end though. I always do have hope (well, not always) But life is like that, it's hell one moment, but if you work hard enough, you might get a little piece of heaven, in this world where you are ONE person, as in only you can solve your problems, only you can fight for you, in the greatest battle of all. You against yourself.
