lost battle

Care, attention and a soothing song

A cradle, toys and milk slightly warm

My hands entwined in hair brown and long.

Crazy days and memorable nights

Procrastination and then burning the midnight oil

Endless conversations under starry lights.

Busy days and hectic weeks

Demanding bosses and a much needed trip

Trying to ace adulthood but innocence still peeks.

Glasses, grey hair and a walking stick

Hues of dusk when nostalgia hits

Love laugh live, tick tick tick.

I did not want a different life

A normal one was perfectly fine

Of a daughter, a lover, a mom and a wife.

Then the dream shattered, leaving broken pieces.

It was a lost battle for survival, it wasn't needed.

Because I forgot I was a girl and with my birth, my existence ceases.
