A moment in life I’ll never forget
April 24th 2018
time stood still
for I thought it was just another argument between my mother and father
was actually my mothers breaking point.
as the sun was setting and I was doing my best to distract the little ones
I heard her cry for help calling my name,
begging me to come
I flew a down the stairs barely touching any
I wasn't prepared for what I was about to see.
As she ran to me with tears in her eyes
and blood dripping down her wrists
Time stopped.
Everything was a blur
I rushed to wrap a towel around her wrists to stop the blood flow
but it wasn't enough
she needed to get to the hospital
after hours of waiting and the next morning arrives
I still hadn't slept
though she was far from okay,
she at least made it through the night
before bringing my siblings home
I needed to clean up the mess
with last night's events running through my head
As I wiped the blood off the walls
tears dripped from my eyes,
wondering why she would ever want to leave her babies behind.
Though she is still alive to this day,
A part of her died that day.
I only wish she could've gotten the help she needed
So I’d still have my mom today
