I wonder if the world knows that
I hear hushed voices and
I see the good in most things.
I want to remember that
I am independent.
I pretend to be confident but
I feel scared.
I touch lives with my actions so
I worry about my children being all right.
I cry when I am angry but
I am strong.
I understand that I can change only me so
I say it's all good.
I dreamt of marrying again, happily
I try to stay organized because
I hope for a good life.
I am Amanda.
The Exercise:

I am lost.
I wonder where I am going in life, if I'll ever be satisfied.
I hear the wind whistling in the bathroom fan exhaust.
I see the love in my lover's eyes, but know that now is not the time or place.
I want to do something big, something that I never thought I could accomplish.
I am tired.
I pretend that I am ready, that I am going to be okay even though I'm not sure.
I feel confused.
I touch him when I can, as if it were the last time I ever will.
I worry about everything.
I cry, not as often as before, though the tears come in unexpected spurts.
I understand why this is, and why it's happening.
I say that I have faith, but I'm not sure if I really believe it.
I dream of having love, and money.
I try to make the best of the situation.
I hope that everything will be okay.
I am at peace.
