You could say that
I was pissed
Perhaps more than pissed
I was
livid
Our family was big enogh
Yet
here she was making additions
that were
highly unnessary
After I put Timmy
to sleep
I found Mom finally without the new kid
seated on the couch
drinking tea
and
reading a book by Steven King
Mom hardly ever has
time to relax
and when she does
She's very vocal about her "me time"
Mom,
I said
Taking a seat beisde her
Quickly closing her book
She sighed,
already annoyed.
Well its her own damn
fault if she feels that way
You can expect to add
someone to the family
without
discussing it
WITH
the family
(and yes, I was the family)
and sit down for a cup of tea
Oh,
that is not how it works
at least not with me
Yes, Rose
She said,
Who is he?
Whats the problem
She asked.
She's completly oblivious to everything!
Well,
besides the fact that you didnt tell me about this
Let alone discuss it with me
Or ask a hypothetical question, oh
I don't know, three months ago
Or at least keep me posted!
My words quickly rolled off my tounge
like they didn't belong there
They wanted to escape
Hell
I wasn't gonna stop 'em.
Another sigh,
Rose, I didn't even know
about this til this afternoon
It was a one shot deal
I could have left him there
with those disgusting people
To become nothing but an addict
To not be able to experience
life for what it is
family
but I chose to take him
To bring him home
she said
with my family, Rose
I expect you to show kindness
like how you show your friends
like how you show Timmy
Adam is no different
Like hell he is!
I shouted,
jumping to my feet
How could you
bring something like that
into this house
near Timmy!
I cried
What was she thinking?!
What was she doing!?
Our home
safe
peaceful
loving
innocent
is now a foster care for deliquient
and crack babies
I bet thats what he is
not my precious Timmy
But this new boy
Stop it Rose
Stop it right now
young lady
She stood to her feet
towering over me by
a good four inches
Do not question
my judgement
Do not go against my will
for it is in the favor of the Lord
Without another word
she left
me dazzed and broken
in the living room
I had no strength
No power to move myself
To my room
To climb those stairs and
Sink into a comfortable bed
I laid
on the couch
exhausted and beaten
Confused and shaken
Blackness swormed
drowned me
in a sea
of sweet dreams
