The Well

Hard ground at the bottom
Bottom of a well of pain
Everyone always asking me
How do I keep sane

I breathe one breath at a time
Take one step after another
Focus on my babies
Less on how they were robbed of their brother

I see his smile and hear his giggles
Live for hours in happy moments and days
Sometimes waking from a nightmare
Trying to find my way through this life maze

Hard ground at the bottom
Bottom of a well of pain
Tired of attempted climbing
Resulting in dried tears and blood stain
