Tacara Turner Poet Free verse

Should I

I was going through 
my mother’s things 
trying to find something 
that she will recognize.

She has good days and 
she has bad days.

I had to hire a nurse 
to help me take care 
of her because when 
she has a bad day 
she can be a hand 
full.

I felt bad about 
going back to 
work, but I am 
behind on my
bills.

My boss said 
that I can work 
from home, so 
I will do that 
starting next 
month.

 Some of my 
friends are telling
me to put my mom 
in a home.

I’m not going to 
 lie sometimes 
I do think about it 
especially when,
she gets violent with
me and the nurse.

I want to take care 
of my mother until I
can’t, but the question 
should I put her in 
a home is always in the 
back of my mind.
