That Kind Of Weekend

This was written after a long weekend, listening to my 20 year old son (who has autism) chatter non-stop about his obsessions. I love him dearly, but oh, sometimes I could use a break! It's not always easy as a single mom, but I wouldn't trade him for anything in the universe.

That Kind Of Weekend: By...me

09/22/19

Can I ever have a moment

To take a breath or three?

Do I always have to listen

And never disagree?

Do you know my ears are tired?

I didn't think you did.

My brain is nearly worn-out

And my sanity's un-did.

I damn-near fell asleep today

As Manga filled my head

Anime's another thing...

Can't remember what you said.

You say it with enthusiasm

As I try to stay awake...

You miss my eyes a'rolling

And the faces that I make.

I'm going off the rails

On Ozzy's Crazy Train

I lost a couple screws

That were holding in my brain.

It took years to learn your Pokemon

Only to discover

You're onto something different now

One Japanese thing or another..

I see you've got a new thing

That you cannot let go of

Please wait for me to brace myself

And pray to God above!

I'll try to find my mental health,

I left it somewhere near...

Just have some mercy, if you please

My ears are tired, Dear!
