Trekking towards the curtain

Location

Who am I?

A dancer, a singer

A tennis player, an athlete.

Lively, fun, energetic

Loving, caring, compassionate

 

On the outside I am just

A mom, getting divorced

Two boys-under 2 years old

25

Alone

 

I see the curtain, but…

I just can’t grasp it!

I’m afraid

Afraid of the questions

The assumptions

The stares and pity

 

I am alone

With my boys

Trekking towards the curtain
