I feel like I should have seen it coming
but I was too caught up in my day to day
and there it was
hot, immediate, startling and raw
I hung my head
I hung my head
the cool of the linoleum on my knees
clutching my chest
I can handle this, I think
I want my mother
but I have to be one
tears sting my eyes
I take a deep breath
try and cool the pain
patch myself up
and move on with my day
mericfully numb
knowing the scar will eventually fade

Wow Julie....that was intense....and very well written. It encompasses so many things of what you are going thru. And BTW....I am very proud of you and how you are handling this....You are so patient with the boys and they are sooo precious. You know what? Sometimes YOU are My hero.
