How I feel
I live like a vampire,stalking the night
Unable to rest, until morning light
Confined to the darkness, unable to break free
Every waking moment , spent with no one but me
The hours are long, and lonely am I
Sometimes I feel, as if I could die
How much longer do I have to wait
Until I am free, from this horrible fate
"When the kids are all grown" you say things will be okay
I can join in the living and start enjoying the day
I pray I can make it through this for heavens sake
For I am not sure how much more of the darkness my spirit can take
Being a parent is a very hard job, the sacrifices me make for our children we would not make for anyone else. I have to work nights(which I hate) because of my kids and fiances scheduals.I stay up all night alone with noone to talk to on my nights off. I would do anything for my kids but WOW how I would love to be able to live in the daytime again. Not much longer until my daughter will be old enough to put herself on the bus and I will again be able to work in the daytime and feel like a living person. :) It’s lonely in the dark.
