Visitation


Why?

"We don't understand how she could be here.

Doesn't she need a preschool?"

The heavy hearts of children

asking questions

I have yet to answer

for myself.


"She's only four. We're here for real reasons, or so they say"

I know baby.

"I punched my teacher in the face.

I always crack my knuckles before doing it."

I have no answer for that.

I only cringe inside; knowing

she is now beckah's best friend in this place.


Beckah is not interested in us tonight

only her new found -friends-.

She asks us to leave, as usual.

I hold no importance to her here.

Another day passes

without me holding the baby I remember vaguely.

A tender, sweet face with so may dreams..now lost.


So many doctors and professionals

spewing words

I really don't need or care to hear.

I've heard enough from her own lips.

She hates Chloe and me and wants to kill us.

You see, she doesn't need a mama anymore.

She's kept company by delusions, hallucinations, anyone but me.


One solution comforts her.

If she can't kill me,

there's always herself.

With a huge blade pointed at her chest,

the voices from her head taunt me.

They remind me that I am no longer in control,

only the disease--fermenting and rotting away her tender innocence.

Author notes

Nothing to say here...only pain and no blade on my skin will relieve this kind. When I go through my everyday existance I laugh a lot about the things on this site--if only any of you could grasp real pain and torture. My future lies in the lines of this poem and my past lies barred behind close doors you would not ever wish to open. Good luck to you, if your pain is so slight- a simple cut could relieve it. The quotes are from other children in the hospital.

    This broke my heart...made me cry. I do so wish I could change it all for you and your beautiful girl. Life can be so unkind. My heart out to you and yours..I have a son who sounds a little like this...so difficult. God bless you and yours. Dawn

    Oh wow.. I told myself I wouldn't cry tonight, however I just broke my promise. Your pain oozes out onto the screen and I just can't help myself. I'm so sorry for all your pain. If one person could take it away from you, I would. May God be with you. Kahy

    Wow this is just beaking my heart . for I know so well how you feel. for I feel the same. wondering what is to happen next. I worry all the time what to say what not to say if I have said it right or wrong. I see such a sweet loving little baby that is so mess up and I can't find a way to help her or my own baby wich is you even thought you are grow now you are still my baby I want so badly to beable to fix every thing for you and make your world right again. This helplessness I feel is over whelm me. I have no answer to give you to help I just sit and worry what is next. What can I do. There should be some wisdom I could give you to help you but my brain has no answer for me . So all I so is listen to you and let you know that I love you. I want so much to take her in my arms and say that NaNa will make the world or again for you and your mommy. but instead I am just in tissie of of thing that is going on. I love you
