Disillusion

like a dog with a bone,
 I
    threw  
              the 
                    first 
                           stone

burning rage grew deep within
yelling and crying like 
                                         sin

         explosive curses
              -so uncool-   
stomping and acting like a 
                                                damn fool

                burning 
            ==bridges== 
                with her

cool and calm like water…
           was the scared face
                         of
                             my
                                   daughter

            running on
                    ...
                    ...
                  guilt

needing a swift
                             boot in the
rear
                   for

     'Mother of the Year'
