Shhhh.....I'm a Mum

I am.  I am a Mum, but we don't talk about it.  Don't look me in the eye.  But I am.  I am.  I am here.  I am on maternity leave but my days are empty.  It did happen but my house is silent.  Baby things hidden away.  Shhh......don't talk about it.  People look at me, turn away and mutter behind their hands. 

My days evolve around boxes, memory boxes and coffins.  Making memories.......remembering my perfect boys.
