Most days,
It’s difficult to breathe.
Shared parenting load? No.
Under the covers are his concerns,
Non-existent because of selfish intent.
Daily challenges a single mother endures,
Encapsulating her in stress,
Rendering restlessness, resentment, and rage.
Seeking solace starved from over speaking,
Often burying regrets
Only to excavate hidden truth,
Dreaming to be understood and heard.
