Yesterday I left my Mom's which really left me sad,
Although I truly Love her it's the only choice I had.
I answer to her every wish even a beckon call,
It doesn't seem to matter or help her out at all.
I feel so guilty after leaving her that way,
Nothing helped at all nor what I had to say.
An attitude she had no matter what I did,
Say the wrong thing and oh, Heaven forbid!
Commenting on everything even when I drive,
Go the wrong way and Heaven sake's alive!
Behind a car too close and she would really rant,
Everything I do appease her seems I can't.
Just going for groceries had a comment for that,
The sun's too hot she should have worn a hat.
To shelter her from heat and the sun's hot ray,
I can't do things right no matter time of day.
Frozen items in the car we couldn't stop for lunch
Anyone have a clue or perhaps a real good hunch?
Visiting my Sister we spent all afternoon,
My dog was hungry and had to eat soon.
Off to the store I went to get my dog some food,
I got really angry and in a real bad mood.
The stress that I was under started to kick in,
Not knowing how to cope with anxiety within.
We're at each other throat seems like all day long,
At her house I know that I really don't belong.
My siblings have no concern about what's going down,
I really should be smiling but inside there is a frown.
I suffer from anxiety and am always in distress,
She even had a comment about the way I dress.
I went to Church in jeans and a Tee Shirt,
Maybe she wanted me to wear was a skirt!
Pleasing her isn't easy as you can plainly tell,
No matter what I do she constantly will yell.
I just cannot stay or with her can I live,
I must Pray to Him and ask that He forgive.
I really Love her dearly more than any other,
For there is nothing like the Love of a Mother!

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is a true story. I have been staying with my Mother for a week. Yesterday, it all came down on my shoulders like boulders falling from a cliff. I hope you enjoy the write as it is so Sincere and true. All there is becomes havoc and guilt trips out the ying-yang!!! I really enjoy this web site as I'm able to put out there my feelings and, allowing me to vent. That helps with my anxiety and stress SO much!!! I also enjoy reading others who write and see how they compare to mine!

My mother betrayed me after thirty years of my being the sole attendant to her needs of the five siblings for thirty years. I didn't attend her funeral. I can relate to this fine poem, Edward.
