A cacophony I cannot bear
As I struggle with myself to rise
And brace myself for what I fear
Why can't I enjoy what once I loved?
Why does it seem so hard?
I do what I need to and that's all
My feelings locked in, on guard.
The only joys that I can feel
Are when my husband and son are there
For it is only their love and smiling faces
That even get me to care.
A shared word, a stolen hug
Or just watching them sleep
Are the best moments in this harsh prison
Treasured memories I will forever keep.
They remind me to keep trying
Not to give up the fight
Because our loves are worth it
Together, we can make it right.
