My mothers love
Dad fell out of bed
Helpless
And as usual
I look to you
You’re useless
On purpose?
Your ways I cannot comprehend
How you segregated me
And taught everyone to ignore me
Abandoned me
When I needed a mother most
And told you of my abuse
Nothing brought you more joy
You said that to my face
For years I thought I was weak because
I lacked your love
Now I realize you forced me to be strong
But that took years in the making
One hard lesson after another
Strength came sideways
Because I’m self taught
Now you’re frail and old
Everyone else is stepping up
Not me though
You’ve completely shut me out
I can’t even give if I want to
I finally came to a place
That only deep healing brings about
Levels of forgiveness
I’ll never get to express it
Mother’s Day?
How can I even honor it
When you’ve given me nothing to celebrate
You neglect
And I obey
It’s not my job to fix you
