A poem about feeling overwhelmed
I'm overwhelmed, never been this way before.
I'm lost in panic of dreams that I adore.
I've become a mom in less time than you might think,
I'm not sure I'm ready for this, what if I sink?

I just came from a life I never thought I'd live,
No question I should have died and that I almost did.
But now I feel like I'm drowning, and I don't think anyone can tell.
I'm in a place that's not quite home and then again not hell.

There's alot of love here you can always see
Three childeren, a dad, and then there's me.
Not quite old enough to be their mom, but still that position I fill.
Not young enough to be a friend, but try I definately will.

This is a thing worth working for even though sometimes I have doubt
When they sit around, thinking of thier mom, and they all begin to pout.
Put in perspective things are nice, not alot of crying and even less fights.
Things are changing and begining to take flight, I think in time everything might be alright.

So for now I'm leaving this note for myself
Just incase I need a little help.
Sometimes things might look a little glum,
But remember if you wait it out they might just get to be some fun.
