I AM COMPLICATED
Location
I am the fight.
The day to day struggle,
The pain I combat with all my might.
At the end of the day I cry a puddle.
I am support.
A pillar hope,
A Ward of the Court,
Always learning to cope.
I am the giggles.
Work for their smiles,
Encourage those squiggles,
And creative styles.
I am the heart.
Compassionate to a fault,
Never think a la carte.
I am the medicine cabinet,
Carry my pills, praying for relief.
Pill after pill, it has become habit.
Chronic pain freedom is always brief.
I see little hands and little feet,
Their sweet hugs and kisses can’t be beat.
I am their strength as they are mine,
In their eyes I am perfectly fine.
I am their beginning.
Builder of confidence,
Their little minds, I am imprinting,
I make the difference.
I am pain.
I am strength.
I am teacher.
I am me.
