My anti-Hera

I'd wish you'd see behind what appears to be
Under the surface and beneath my smile
The broken heart that no lover could ever heal
Happiness is temporary and only lasts for a while

When you have outlived your thousands of broken dreams
When your life once again is ripped up at the seams
When the people you thought would be there, no longer care
I still stand as the one you always forgot to love
And I never complained or claimed it wasn't enough

I did what you always exspected of me
I took care of every need
I did my best to make you proud
And I never cried out loud

When you once again broke the dreams of my babies
I always held there hands
I dried the tears in their eyes
I left myself in their command

I always lifted the responsibillity of your shoulders
I read every map and every folder
I learned to be the person you couldn't be
I learned to be the mother of three
And that wasn't including me
