I carry
the weight
of my mother's pain
because her back
isn't strong enough
anymore.
Author notes
This is just a thought for a poem I'm working on... though this is a piece in itself. I'm going to be making a series.
My mom broke her back falling down the stairs, she has a closed fracture in two vertebrae. Muscle spasms have completely distorted her spine. I have finals all this week. Everything is up to me now. Cleaning. Dinner. Making sure my brothers are ready for school and get their homework done. Taking care of myself in the progress.
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckEVERYTHING.
Nothing critical. I honestly don't care anymore.
If you hate it, fine.
if not, that's great.
It really doesn't matter.
In a list
my drifting ship; I still believe in anchors.

:: hugs :: It's going to be ok Tegan, I promise. Your mom is a strong woman, and your an even stronger woman. If you ever need to talk or just get stuff off your chest, just call, I'm always here.
Love you hun
oh and p.s. this is a very nice poem, although heart wrenching, because I know how much you help her and your family with this, and can definitely see your frustration and sorrow in your words. I hope everything gets better quick for you and your mom, your both to much like family for me not to worry. -
That sounds like alot of pressure...
don't let it get to you, sounds so easy to say, because it is, when you're not the one living it.
But this too shall pass, as the saying goes. I just hope you're being appreciated for it. Take care hon, mean that.
