i gave up my dreams

but you don’t see

the effort of me trying something different for our kids

i will give up everything

happily

but you

say

i am nothing

i do nothing difficult

like i didn’t drop out for our kids

maybe I gave a harder path but why do you always make me small

when I gave up my dreams for them

your kids

and I am still searching for new dreams but every time you shut them down with negativity

I am tired

I don’t have anything to prove to you only them

but it still cracks the shell of my glass heart

And then the days you

when you don’t

need me

i am a walking

invisibility cloak

sad this

reality for them
