5...4...3...2...1

April 20th, 2018

 

Five...

The number of hearts I have grown

The number of babies I have carried and shown

Five is the biggest number I have to offer

Yet of any number the one that has made me softer

 

Four...

The number of times I have opened myself up to rise

Sometimes in disguise

Four is the harderst number to learn about me

Because I like to skip it emotionally

 

Three...

Is the number of times I almost ended my life

I didn't see a point to kids or being a wife

Three different times I could have ended it all

Three times I'm glad I didn't fall

 

Two...

Is the number of babies that I lost

Forever in my heart I hold this exhaust

Another part I try to skip

Because I always remanence and fall in that dip

 

One...

Is this life that I live

We take for granted when we should give

One day at a time

One smile to change an entire rhyme
