I am so tired.. of thinking and feeling.. The thoughts bring me down.. These feeling keep me around.. I am a prisoner of my own past.. I am a prisoner of my heart.. The minute I gave birth.. There was no turning back.. One look into their eyes I knew I would have to stay.. Ohh God, what am I to do? People depend on me to be so strong Yet I feel I do not belong.. Why must I always be the strength? Sometimes I feel so weak.. I want only to fall into eternal sleep. But what of my sons? I cannot leave them like this.. They would have to live their lives Knowing I chose to leave.. Chose to die.. So I am trapped.. .....by the love in their eyes. E I
To my sons.. my reason for living.

That is so wonderful. What a 'love'ly poem for your sons. That's something that should most definately be shared and not kept most secret ;) This is excellant.

That closing line..."trapped by the love in their eyes" is really nice. Good piece
