Terminal

I carry my head high,
Not many know,,
I mask the pain with smiles,
All to see them grow.

I've sought out help,
Tried only to fail. 
But still I'm here,
Strong, I appear, but inside, frail.

Invincible to my babies,
There will be no backslide.
I push myself above and beyond,
I will always have my pride.

I find a way, 
I push through it all, 
Exhausted as I am,
I will NOT fall.

Tell me no,
There is no cure,
I'll raise a finger,
YOU know not what I can endure.

My love for them,
There's nothing greater,
I'll tear down Valhalla,
To make their world better.

Make no mistake,
You broke that dream.
But I'll come back stronger.
Just wait and see.
