I learned the continuing cycle-…
Mom makes to scream a lot, not softly- her words shatter solid against the concrete of my conciousness, and I feel rattled; dangling precariously from my portfolio of thoughts, which portray only utter confusion coagulating into occassional pieces of poetry, scattered as surely as dandelion seeds snuffed out in one breath, which beat them free for sure- but also, alone.
The world is widely unapologetic, and I learned this with fat lips and eyes, blue as barfights in ’92… but I was only two then, and no tamer nor more terrible than any other tater tot, toddling along in the most ordinary fashion- yet I find separation so inevitable, knife cuts against body and soul- and soon I’ll simmer, in the hormonal upheavals my body burns so readily.
And then, ... I’ll evaporate, (only to again rain down with petty tears.)

great work. this was has stay-in potential. and it seems ive already commented.

Good. This was more prose, and the rest of the entries are clearly more poetry based. Although I thought the wording was creative, in places it was too wording and uncomfortable to read fluently. I did like the ending line though. Thanks for entering.

That beginning, it reminded me of me -
I wanted to throw my own tempter tantrum yesterday in front of the children. Enough was just enough, I swear they looked at me like I was nuts but then were angels after.

I always hear that when you have children, they are supposed to be twice as bad as you were when you were a kid. I seriously hope that isn't true.

Mine are 6 and 4 and I tell you, there are definitely giving me a run for my money. My mother just sits back and enjoys the show.

My mom screams and starts to cry sometimes if I don't do the dishes before she gets home, and then she accuses me of not loving her because I know how much a messy house upsets her. @_@

I won't do that to the boys but there are definitely days it gets frustrating.

My mother just goes nuts some times, but I generally try to clean. I just keep getting sick and end up sleeping through when I usually do my chores. Then she gets home and has a heart attack about it. @_@
