True heartbreak, is something I must face everyday.
A disease so unrelenting, stealing moments of my life away.
My children cry, "mommy come play"
"I hurt too much, I'm sorry" I say.
My husband takes me out, dinner to relax.
We must leave before we're finished,
anxiety has attacked.
Why must the ones I love suffer so,
perhaps for them I should leave, just go.
My heart how it hurts, to look in their eyes,
To see the pain and sorrow, and hear their cries.
"Why can't you do this, why can't we go there?"
"I'm sorry" I say," This disease has no cares."
I love you all from the depths of my soul,
One day I'll be able, I will reach my goal.

Every day of my life is a battle with heartbreak. I feel as though too often I have hurt my family or let them down. This disease all to often has the control, yet I promise them someday, I will be who I was, before it stole my life.
