A single mother of 3 Is not the way she pictured her life to be. Everyone wants to have the fairy tale life But honestly She didn't She only wanted to be the perfect mother And an irreplaceable wife. But 10 years of marriage full of every type of abuse Finally the time came when she had to choose To stay in the abuse, and be financially stable Or take her kids and leave while She was still able Her kids wanted for nothing They could go anywhere She could buy them anything Shopping without a care She grew up very poor Happy to get just a piece of gum from the grocery store She knew then if She had a kid She would do whatever it took for them to have a life better than She did And so there She was A mother of 3 Doing whatever it took To make their life happy As it should be But She took all She could take And couldn't take anymore She couldn't keep fighting for her life For the sake of being poor. So She left her marriage Took the kids Walked out of their home And shut the door. Life since then has been a constant struggle to say the least But being a struggling mother Is much better than being deceased.
