Losing Battle
**Why does my mother think she can keep on doing this to me?
Yet even a few years later, I do not have a clue!
Though I've told her many times over, so what is it she still doesn't see?
Nor does she consider, what all I'm fixing to go through!
**Plus I clearly mentioned my surgery, it's now less than one month away,
Yet stubborn as she remains, she just has to have us there.
And everything I have said to her, it doesn't matter what I say,
Neither is she considerate, I can't believe she just doesn't care!
**So she'd better get a home health aide, before I mentally break,
Because my family nor myself, can't keep going like we've done before.
For I have literally hit my breaking point, I've just had too much to take,
For this is a losing battle...I cannot fight anymore.
