How you were ripped from my life I'll never forget. The choice was not mine, but that of society. The image of my family caused so much anxiety. You did not share my body, yet you do share my life. My loss of fertility cut like a knife.
Some women never know.
Irrational fears have kept me up nights. I will do my best, for that's all that I can do. Abandonment issues get internalized deep. The resilience techniques are skills that one keeps. So I protect my heart, don't let hopes get too high For the nurturing bond we both were denied.
