thank you mom
quiet quiet quiet
why isn't your mind quiet
why does it race
and spin
and SHOUT SHOUT SHOUT
you are
overwhelmed?
you are
overwhelmed.
but she is there and she
holds your hand and says
it is fine
you are angry?
you are sad.
but she is there and she
strokes your hair and says
you are strong
she tells you to be kind.
so you are kind.
she wants you to be smart.
so you are smart.
she pushes you and is it too much?
no. she knows you need to be pushed.
she doesn't let you drown, doesn't let you slip but
she lets you make mistakes.
lets you learn from them.
helps you only make a mistake once.
loud LOUD loud.
why is your mind so loud?
why is life so hard?
but it isn't so hard.
because she is there and she makes it easier.
even when she drives you
up
a
wall
she stands by you and you are stronger.
your mind is loud
but she is good
at shutting things up.
