3 A.M.

A woman's self doubts during that questionable time of mid-life.

In the darkness
when I am alone.
There is a silence
that I feel in my bones.

A time to reflect
on choices I've made.
The paths I have taken
or were they already paved?

I question my being.
I question this life.
Am I a good mother?
Am I a good wife?

I want someone
to give me a clue.
I'm filled with doubts.
What do I do?

There is a lonliness
deep in my soul.
Life didn't start that way
it was never my goal.
