Why mom, why?
A poem for those with a complicated relationship with their mother
Why mom, why?
Why do you stay with my stepdad?
The stepdad who made comments about my boobs?
Who made sexual innuendos directed at me?
When I was only 14?
Who said the N-word as a white male?
Who continues to blame girls for dressing "revealing"
and saying it's their fault he's staring?
Why mom, why?
Do you stay with a guy I'm scared of?
With someone who makes me afraid to shower,
or to even sleep?
Why mom, why?
Would you stay with such a horribly man?
Someone who doesn't even remember his horrible actions?
Why would you talk about him constantly?
I know you think you love him,
but it's hurting me.
Why would you let your own daughter hurt,
for a man who isn't worth it?

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
