The Mom

Look at her. What do you see?

A strong woman who's raised a great family?

An independent female with a husband that adores her unconditionally?

Kids that love her wholeheartedly?

All is true. But look closer.

Her mom was a poser.

Her Daddy died, now she's looking for closure.

When her virginity was taken away forcefully she felt life was over.

She was molested

He was never arrested

She was raped

Sometimes the villains are disguised in capes

She wanted her life to end

But she believed that was the unforgivable sin

And now, you may not realize it, but she's sick.

More so then she'd admit.

Tired all the time and can barely get out of bed,

nights filled with endless nightmares inside her head.

So tell me, is she different in your eyes?

Do you see her as less because of her disguise?

Because of her past and the hardships of time?

Because of her present life filled with struggles and lies?

She's still the same woman with beauty and grace.

Because you know the truth is she now a disgrace?
