The airbag went off
My chest started a fire
The lasted until today
The fire burns my ribs
Still broken my sternum pressed
The van no more
2012 January 5th
2012 January 5th
No more lifting my infant
No more carrying my daughters
Fire that my life is in my chest.
I give this to my four children
I hope you read this some day
Your mother changed
January 5th 2012 when the airbag smashed chest
I knew 8 months after
I was altered
And they said I would heal
The rib never healed right nor the sternum
And my heart is broken for this lifetime
Mom was altered
By 2 weeks of severe pain in 2012
I suffered in silence
Trying to be a mother
My fail is in 2019
A mother no more
To my four children
Two boys and two girls
I love you all
Mom leaves in less
Than a decade now
I hope you understand
The van took my life
In 2012.
You are my heart now
My sons and daughters
You are my memories of happier days
I face surgery and medication bravely
I hope you are brave too
I face destitution
I face death alone.
