A Collection of Poems - Emotions & Thoughts

6

For three years now

My minds been broken

Time and time again

By the words they shout

Once out of anger

Or maybe desperation

With tears in her eyes

She yelled out for everyone to hear

"I can't do this for the next three years."

The next thoughts that crossed my mind

Might have made her cry

Harder than before

But I doubt it

Because

'maybe you won't have to'

'because you'll have one less child to worry about'

'one less mind to shatter beyond what you have already done'

Outside my mind

Where she could see

Her real thought plaguing my mind

I nodded with watery eyes

My heart cracking further

Knowing the disappointment I would bring

The words she said that day

Throwing me down

The rabbit hole

Closer to the bottom

And the broke fall
