Silent struggle

Home is where the heart is and for me at least that's true

Its also where I fall apart, the monsters are here too They think I am the strong one, the mum the wife, the rock

But if they really knew me, they would surely get a shock

I don’t know why I feel so low, I’m loved so very much   I have a loving husband, happy, healthy kids

So I push away the feeling, and keep my sadness hid

It never goes away though, these feelings in my head

I wish I got 5 minutes peace when I lay in my bed.   The world is rather scary now, we don’t know what to do

This is when they need me, if not me then who?

I close my eyes; I count to 5 and hope I pass the test

I think I’ll just ignore it, I think that’s for the best.
