"Underneath the surface”
Fine on the outside,
Heart aching
I blink away another tear,
Hope tomorrow will be better
Even though my tears have gone
I still see the world in a blur
My life passes by, day by day,
But somehow it doesn’t feel real
I dig a hole, crush a window
Get on a plane, change how I look
Try to find a way to release myself
From this pain that I’m feeling,
But it won’t go away
Still I’m brave on the outside
I smile and do as I’m told
I build a wall around myself
Yet feel it crumbling down
I look around...see happy faces
No worries, no doubts...just be
Hope one day I can also feel,
How happiness rushes over me.

When a twin dies before birth, the sole survivor needs help and understanding. Womb twin survivors are the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy. This group, 1 in 10 of the population, includes survivors of a stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy. It is a story of a twin bond broken by death, leaving a lonely survivor.
