Today,
was not flattering in any way.
The only thing that made me smile,
Were my learners, even if just for a little while.
Today,
I really had so much on my mind to say.
But I had to control my tongue,
And just let hurtful songs be sung.
Today,
the impatience, hurt and frustration was at play.
I couldn’t wait to see my husband
To get home and just touch his hand.
Today,
I really wasn’t feeling okay.
But my despondence was misread
For rebellious behaviour instead.
Today,
All I really wanted to do, was pray,
But my heart was too heavy, too hurt,
So instead, I just wiped my tears with my shirt.
