This is the story of a woman
A wife and a mother
Ordinary and unique
Living life in a cage
Getting up with sunrise
Breakfast, toast and eggs
Lunches for her boys
At home with the toys
To school they go
Not yet snow.
Leaves everywhere, the late fall,
Permission denied for the mall
His car still in the driveway
Why again today
His anger scares me
and there he is
enraged and unease
Where were you, he screams
The boys to school, I squirm
Words for talking
his fist communicates
A typical day, my life astray.
Once we were happy
Now he is snappy
Loneliness and isolation
