Once a seedling, now towering in the air
Sunflower
All was swell until he came along
Now I'm falling without a care
He pushed in deep
Taking all my roots had
I dare not make a peep
"Your protecting them"
These words made me mad
Pain was just a metaphor
Slowly breaking at the stem
His every touch was to the core
Carving my insides like a pumpkin
Only holding on for them
Either 2 innocent or my skin
I chose mine...
Sunflower Falling
Laying there motionless
Only wanting him to end
Out of fear, I'd never confess
"I'm his medication"
Every chance he'd have me bend
Soon we migrated
West is where we went
Problems were created
He was distracted and spent
I felt a little freedom
Then it happend
He died in a kingdom
Now I pretend
"It never happened"
Sunflower Falling
with broken pedals
I will rise

Motherhood
I lie on the couch and try to get some rest while my newborn is finally asleep, while my toddler plays on the floor beside me. My ears are filled with sirens, not real, but from a toy. Man, I miss silence. What I would give for a nap without the white noise of toys being thrown in the background and the wet blanket of breast milk I now have on tap. I lay still, almost in a peaceful state of mind. WHACK!! You have got to be kidding me! I jump up as my toddler has just walked up and assaulted my temple with an ambulance. “We don’t hit people with trucks,” I say. That's a phrase I never thought I’d say in my life. This is my reality now. Once a bright, organized young adult, now a mobile milk dispenser with toddler counseling abilities. This is motherhood, folks, and I’m here to tell you the good, bad, heartfelt, and ugly parts that come with it.
