my son

my son, my beautiful boy

i am trying to survive for you

you ask me why i cry all the time and all i can say is im sad

you deserve more than me as a mom

you should have a happy healthy mom that has tons of energy but for some reason you got me

you are such a beautiful soul and im afraid i will destroy that with my sadness

im afraid my depression will infect you so i push you away

and i know you wonder why i am doing this but all i can say is stay away

you have saved my life for everytime i had the darkest of thoughts i couldnt do it because of you

i love you and always will

and i will try to move on and get better not for myself but for you

Norma, I grew up this son. This is the most intense poem I think I have read to date on WC. It is good you put it in ink, pouring out your soul gives depth to the work that nothing else can.

I like it in way that makes my unsure.
