Wow, I really enjoyed that. I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to the rules of poetry. But from a reader's perspective I could really connect with it. The theme of silent sacrifice is what hit me most.
I especially liked the imagery involved.
The only suggestion I'd have is to shorten/revise the first line of the third and sixth stanza as they don't roll smoothly as I read it. But again, that's my personal opinion.
I happened to stumble upon your poem and loved the sentiment. It brought back memories of someone I once knew. I could identify with a lot of the things you wrote. And yes, indeed, people aren't born sad.
I'm not an expert at poetry, being a newbie myself. But I did enjoy the free verse.
There are a few typos - afraid in the title, and al in the fifth stanza. But it doesn't draw from the emotional content of it, so take it or leave. Keep writing.
Cheers
