I'm a Mess

Published
Life is throwing curveballs,
My family is a mess,
It's falling apart.
My fiance wants someone else,
He doesn't know, I know.
So the pain goes on,
Never lets me go.
No peace, no silence.
My mind is constantly screaming.
If it's not one thing,
It's another.
I would never put him through,
this kind of pain.
I'm 6 months pregnant,
She's the only thing that makes me smile.
I'm a mess,
I can't stop crying,
I can't stop saying "sorry",
I haven't done any of these things.
I haven't caused anyone pain,
I have no reason to be sorry.
I'm mad,
I'm happy,
I'm sad,
I'm broken,
Looking for the glue,
Gotta put myself together again,
I've got 3 months to figure it out,
So I can be the mommy I need to be,
Wearing a mask everyday,
Here's the smile,
But my eyes don't smile,
Like they once did.
I'm a fake,
I'm a sham,
Really don't know who I am.
I'm a mess,
I'm a train wreck,
Bet you can't stop watching,
What will happen next?
I'm a mess.
I'm failing this test.
Feeling like Humpty Dumpty,
But there's no kings horses,
And there's no kings men's.
It's only me,
To put myself together again.
I'm a mess,
It's all a wreck.
