Oh Mother

January 27, 2018

Dear Mother

Why do you seem so weak

And pretend as if you are okay

Don't you know how much I worry every week

Seeing you so frail and bleak

And the worst part about it

You don't even notice

There is no wit

No knowing the suffering as sharp as ice

Not from you

You simply pretend as if it's alright

But I feel as if it's more a screw

that has been forced loose

You keep forcing 

Your destructive way of thinking

Onto your dear son, your fledgling

Oh how I wish I could hear you singing

To the God that has brought so much light to our world

All I get is ringing

That comes from the past Mother

Oh Mother

Sweet, beautiful Mother

I miss the days

When you would've never dared to see me as a bother
