The Divorce
Dear mom,
I watched you, growing up
your laughter didn’t meet your eyes
you held me growing up
I never saw through your disguise
mom,
You cried, I never knew
I thought your life was grand
you screamed, I never knew
I never noticed your clenched hand
mom,
That day you sat me down, I felt it
my heart a rollercoaster in my chest
the facade was falling down, I felt it
today was different from the rest
mom,
I know your life is not the grandest
I know you deal with so much guilt
but now your smiles are the grandest
but now your life has been rebuilt
mom,
I love you.
Sincerely,
Daughter
