Chantelle Rostoll Poet Free verse

A mothers battle

I see your struggle
The dark nights 
The voices that haunt you
The scars you bare

I want to be enough 
To stop the pain
To keep you safe
To save you from you

I wish i was enough 
To take the pain
To promise you a future
To see you find happiness

I love you so much my dear girl...
...just wish it was enough to end the mental pain.

Sometimes they have to learn the hard way (school of hard knocks) Chantelle Rostoll September 3, 2026 at 12:37 PM Yes I agree with my other 3, but this is more autism and severe mental health..I am not promised another day, each day. Thank you for your comment, appreciated.

Alison A Smith nee Howarth July 31, 2026 at 8:40 PM As mothers we try so hard to keep our children safe, happy and ready for the future they deserve. Sometimes that's not enough. Hold them close and let them see your faith in them. Chantelle Rostoll September 2, 2026 at 3:17 PM Thank you for such understanding words.🙏
