Back to square one
Being on my tiptoes
Not being able to know
When I might say or do something wrong
Not knowing what might go on.
I can't live like this
It hurts too much
Don't want this for the kids.
They deserve to see their parents happy
Even if they're not together
This can't go on forever
Paperwork and moving seems like do much
But I know what it feels like already to not do enough
To change things when you need to
And they don't need
To see any more hurt
Any more pain
They've seen too much
On too many days.
Square one is a familiar spot
It's familiar to my heart
It's where I start to repair myself all over again
Wonder when I don't have to pretend
It's all okay
That the pain has faded
That day isn't anywhere near
But I know it will be
And on that day I'll still be me.

PoetryI'm still working on myself. I still have a long way to go.. I have times where I forget how far I have gotten and how far I still have to go.
