appreciation to a mother

My mum is a nurse. she looks after me, my father and a ton of babies at work. bonds with them only to watch some die. she is a strong woman and...to be quite frank, an unappreciated saint.

 

I see you

Don’t go on like I don’t.

Working 12 hours a day

Paying the bills as dad won’t.

 

I see you

I’m 19 I can tell.

The pain in your eyes.

The pain you hide so well.

 

I see you

Slaving in the kitchen.

Making something out of nothing.

Enduring dads incessant bitching.

 

I see you

the on-going trauma you face.

Watching a new born slip

Into deaths cold embrace.

 

I see you

Seeking refuge in the bathroom.

Crying silently in the night

because they were lost in the womb.

 

I see you mum

an the s**t you go through.

So when you become weak

let me carry you.

Aww. This is so cute and well-written. I hope that this isn't all true, but even if it is, this is beautifully worded. I love it.

[nigrum homonculus]

the only line that isn't true is my dad paying not paying the bills. everything else is unfortunately.
