Thoughts roll like waves
Crashing against the shores of my mind
Then like a flash! from a photo bulb, I return
To the voice telling me to focus
Urging me to finish this meditation
When all I want to do
Is hidden within me
Emotions overwhelming
Still trying to find the better life
Waiting for me
If I can only focus...
I am the mother now
As I brush away the tears that stain my pale cheeks
I am the mother now
My hand is the only comfort I feel as it caresses my face
I am the mother now
My family tree is diseased and rotten
I am the mother now
Because there's no one else who wants the job
The eruption within bursts forth
Chaos pouring out in all directions
Rivers of lava pool and fall
As I weep by its unforgiving banks
Unable to control the panic
Unable to control the pain

We argue and we fight
Late in bed at night
Wanting the madness to end
Looking with confusion at my best friend
I love you, I think in silence
Hating all this violence
Finally, we hug and part ways
Not to be talked about for days
Why must we continually hurt each other
While we claim to love one another?
Hands clasped
We sway to the rhythm
Of our breathing
We are of the same flesh
We cry out together
As we meet in the middle
In groanings that cannot be uttered
I gave you my fragile heart
I warned you to be careful
You snatched it from me
Turned it around in your hands
Appraising its value to you
You smashed it on the ground
Picked it up, and dusted it off
Gave my damaged heart back to me
"I was trying to ignore you," you admitted
As the first tear rolled down my cheek
