Who wants to be a single mother?
No help
One income
Two babies screaming in each ear
No child care
No income
I have to smile when everything is crashing around me
But when I vent
I'm reminded I should have chose better
Duh
Cause I asked for someone to be the father that I literally have to have anxiety to protect them from
At the same time
Give them everything
kiss their boo boos
make a way out of no way
No breaks
Building my life around them
Loving them through thick and thin
Being a positive role model
And example of strength
That I don't know if I have some days
Yeah I've had a rough week
My chest hurts
I don't know how I'm going to make it to tomorrow
But they look at me and
You know what it's breakfast time
That her tapping on my shoulder would be cute if I wasn't on the brink
I'm all they have
I have to stick it out for them
Honestly, their crying
And I want to cry with them
But I’m smiling
Making memories
Capturing the good moments
Learning from the hard times
I cant help but wonder..
Who asks for this
Love them more than anything but drained beyond measure
Still needing the strength to at least look strong
Guilty that I didn't pick better
Who asked for this?
Who really asks for the burden, the struggle, the isolation of being a single mother?
