Burns & Bruises

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" Is a popular saying. That is meant to uplift you in times of misfortune and adversity.

But for how long will I make lemonade?

What will I do when I get sick of the taste of lemonade and want just orange juice or water?

That is where I am now.

The point where I have become sick of my misfortunes.

Why did my son and I have to live a life like this?

Why didn't we get an easier one like everyone else?

Day after day I fight against the adversity, against the thousands of odds stacked against me.

They say the hardest battles are for the strongest soldiers but I just want peace.

I want comfort, love and security.

That's all I want and need for me and my boy.
