My Mother's Problems

A Poem by Garcia

I'm choked up and frustrated I don't know how to fix this problem, I feel as if there's no solution and my faith is falling cause I see my mom pray all night and day but nothing changes months and years pass same old situation just more aggression, I've been on that end I wanted to go away too my faith didn't keep me here my friends did but she keeps her secrets hidden so no one sees her drowning maybe she's getting what she prayed for and she's finally dying, always crying out to god to just take her, oh god its enough to break you, I hold what little faith I have and hope for things to get better but I don't control my brother he acts as if he had another mother, cause the one he has is nothing but she'll go to the moon and back for him while he's shooting at her and still go to him and say I love you which turns into a f**k you from him, its like she just can't win she's running out of space while I see my brother with a straight face turning into a smile not even waiting awhile to see if she's okay but laughing in her face and telling her what a disgrace she is ,while she raises a mirror to him so he'd see his true colors and she'd hope that there'd be a change but that wouldn't matter cause to him everything looked the same cause he just doesn't see her pain.

It takes an extra high standard in this "rant" genre to impress me becuz so many writers consider this poetic form to be a license to blather with no attempt whatsoever to be artful about it. That's why I'm surprised & impressed by your artfully crafted stream of consciousness piece here. You're showing a vividly portrayed story with an interesting perspective, being on the sidelines feeling helpless to change anything, while describing the ongoing strife without imparting judgment, just laying this sad dynamic all out there for the reader to form his/her own conclusions. It's very relatable & true-to-life.
