Bette Bavington Poet Rhyme

Can'T You Read My Mind

Mom, I can't seem to find
The words to tell you why I am being so unkind.
I just
Know I am sorting
Through things by myself because your working
And don't seem to have the time. I am busted
All up inside so much I cry myself to sleep
I hurt so deep.
I put trust
In to my friends
Who betrayed me in the end.
Yet, I can't seem to tell the person who loves
Me each and every day how my brother sided 
With his best friend.
The creep
It wasn't fair! 
You didn't seem to care.
I am not a seer. I understand the pain
Now that you have explained.
I can only look for signs that are
Out of the ordinary
Because believe it or not I can't read minds
Much to the contrary.

Caren Krutsinger September 24, 2018 at 7:26 AM I have never been able to read a child's mind, because they are way too interesting, however, my husband and I often sit in silence for three hours and then laugh at the same stupid thing. I think there is a mind-melt there. Sweet right, speaks to the miscommunication of the young ones, who do not yet have the right words.

Thank you so much for the visit.

Andrea Dietrich September 13, 2018 at 4:07 PM I think we all feel that way sometimes, like what the heck? were we supposed to be able to read your mind? I enjoyed the read! Bette Bavington September 13, 2018 at 6:03 PM Thank you I am glad you liked it. In raising children I have found that they expect us to know so many things. I do believe that they think we should be able to read their minds or get it by osmosis. Lol. If we could a lot of problems would be averted.
