Spiritually Ill

Unfortunately, Regrettably, Sadly - This is for the Inspirer, my Mother Long was my time of proudly witnessing her endless charms ability to seed smiles and respect with Southern wiles aplenty. Then, intrusion of quick insist, in shadowed shift, gave glimpse of her facial expression failing her known impression and lilt. Flash lit sad scripts and ego drips, pained my daughter pity adrift. Each year since, our shared authentic love became more ripped as she brazenly exposed self-loathing, clothed in superior mode and attitude maintained by pathetic tries to admire herself in other’s eyes.

That's deep and sad CayCay. A beautifully expressed poem in well chosen words, interesting word combinations and a lovely rhythm that enhances your message of betrayal and false bravado. Your last line is brilliant! Best wishes in the contest!
