Silently, behind the window
Lost, in a house of dismay
Reflective moments in the glass
She sits there, day after day
Too many stones, left upturned
Not enough time to amend them
Excuses made, in every which way
Shattered, as she tries to defend them
Emptiness, fills the quiet room
As she refuses to believe, it is she
Who causes this to happen, over again
Defying, her own inadequacies

Yeah, I’m sorry… Just so busy with life. Trying to get this school year done with. Brianna is still behind in her schoolwork. I spent the majority of today, teaching Autumn how to hand-stitch. She had fun and made her doll a dress. We made yarn dolls too. I’m just trying to keep up with everything and Brian will be home for a few weeks next month. Are you doing okay?

Yeah, I think he’s ready for a break. He’s been working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, for 6 months now. It’s really starting to wear on him. I’m glad you’re doing better. You’ve been through so much… xo
