My Mom
MY MOM
My mom who’s mind seems to slowly drift away thinks about her perfect little place
probably filled with lavender roses and golden crystal horses wanting to escape the agonizing noises
Those noises that hurt the sole of her eardrums
Taking care of six children ignites her fear of losing us
All six of us in the dead of night because of those ratchet ass vultures that surround us all on sight
Making sure she doesn’t loose us
She works her mind, spirit, and body to the maximum to ensure a successful future
Not knowing what a day could bring
She gathers us in a circle to pray to the king
Not knowing what life will throw
I get on my knees to pray cause my mom said that’s all you need to know
Everyday is a struggle not only for the daughter but for the mother
Cause she never knows when her baby girl’s life could be taken away
And that is the hardest part about giving birth
Having to know this and your child’s possible pathway
Easily distracted she drifts into her dream land
Where every care and responsibility has washed away
Where her love is not treated like a grain of sand
To a place where she would call heaven
Where all life sings and dances
To a place where you do not have to ask for forgiveness
I see her with eyes wide open
But i do not disrupt her
As quiet as a mouse and as smooth as a criminal
I walk away letting my mother be in peace in a land far away.
But seeing the past pain and devastation crawl through her skin
I reach out to touch her to bring her back in
What I couldn’t believe, I now see that my mother’s mind has froze completely
My mom, who’s mind seems to slowly drift away thinks about her perfect little place
Probably filled with lavender roses or golden crystal horses
Even Though I her mind may slip away, I know she’s in a better place.
