Fear and Frustration
I know mom doesn’t believe the things she worries.
I just wish that she wouldn’t inflict her fears on me in a hurry.
I guess this is what illness is.
Seeing the arguments going off in my mom’s head like a quiz.
She has a hopeless strength.
That I have gained as well, during my life’s length.
A vacation from her responsibility.
Would be the gift I would want to give to her- the gift of no worry.
But the day she sent me away to the institution-
Was the day she questioned her intuition.
Which got us to this point.
We must remember that this decision was joint.
So that we may restart someday.
And I may return and I may have fewer troubled days.
