My Suffering Got Away But Hers Started Today

I lay on the floor,
She walks through the door.
What have I done?

 I feel like crying,
But i can't because in and reality I'm dying.
What have I done??

only my mum are really shattered,
I think my life actually mattered.
What have I done?!

It was an accident, I didn't mean to!
I wanna go back, think it through!
What have I done!!?

But she can't hear me.
All I can see, is her misery.
What have I done?.

I got my suffering to go away,
As I did, my mums pain started today.
What have I done?...

Such anguish for you and your mum. Such sadness in your write. Love the repetition of "What have I done?" at the end of each stanza.

Parents are doing the best they can and in the end if there is love there is space for forgiveness. Often that forgiveness needs to flow in two directions. A thought provoking piece.

Sometimes we also need to forgive ourselves. We were not made to reside in shame as it separates us from our true selves.

You are an amazing expressionist. Your words paint emotions for others to see. Your strength is one of your most revered qualities.
