I feel like my insides are caving in
As my thoughts drift back to where it began
With one kid skipping school and the other never home
I'm left here to love in this house all alone
I'm always unhappy feeling so sad
this sadness I can bury by just acting mad
What happened to us?
Once a family so strong
We took our family for granted
And now it's all gone
I feel like my insides are caving in
But I don't think I care because
I'm mad again
As my thoughts drift back to where it began
With one kid skipping school and the other never home
I'm left here to love in this house all alone
I'm always unhappy feeling so sad
this sadness I can bury by just acting mad
What happened to us?
Once a family so strong
We took our family for granted
And now it's all gone
I feel like my insides are caving in
But I don't think I care because
I'm mad again

I can only Hope that when somebody reads this poem that they can connect, understand, you aren't alone, don't give up and release your tears through poetry
