People often forget

People often forget

that I am suffering.

as they never notice

me as a person.

I don't have an identity

of my own.

To them

I am someone's daughter

someone's wife and

someone's mother.

Just a housewife.

but I am a person with

flesh and blood,

a person with deep feeling

and understanding.

because I am not earning

don't I have any feelings?

But people often forget

that I suffer deeply, as

deeply as I understand others.
