Alyssa M Poem
As some glance into my life in past years,
They've seen perfection.
Perfect house, money, people, friends.
But behind the curtains lie the truth.
Not so perfect.
Lies, deceit, failures, adultery.
Who would imagine the perfect family would ever come to this?
I did.

Alyssa M Poem
As kids, we fell and you
Helped us up.
My mother, unemployed, tended to our every need.
As kids, we fell and you
Yelled and made us do it again.
My father, employed, suffocated our souls.
As teens, we needed love advice.
My mother explained consequences of our actions.
As teens we needed love advice.
My father explained the "four F's".
Now as adults,
We only include our mother in our lives.
Wonder why?

Alyssa M Poem
The divorce hit like a tsunami,
But nothing could prepare this child,
To take her mother's place.
She cooks, she cleans.
She tries, she screams.
Trapped in this alternate space.
Seventeen and the mother,
To a 50 year old teenager,
And three 70 year old children.
Sweep this, mop that,
Feed them, clean this,
Do as I say!
The only parent unable to make decisions,
Is a child parent.
