A life ruined by my own,
Trusted hands turned into betrayal,
Smiles hiding quiet destruction within,
My joys reached me through strangers.
My son’s success, never from him,
Heard from others, not my place,
Silence surrounds my empty heart,
No one remains to truly love.
A sister beside me, full deceit,
She wanted wealth, not me,
I became a shadow to them,
My worth measured only in assets.
When my health slowly failed,
I became someone easily discarded,
Pain echoed without any listener,
Even my voice felt unwanted.
Still, I continue to breathe,
Holding myself from falling apart,
Living without a clear reason,
Yet hope refuses to fully die.
