Joys of Tomorrow

   Hi mom may we conversant?
   Why do you always look down?
   With great hesitate?
   Can we be normal and show each other love?
   I hate pretending affection,
   And longing for attention
   Isn’t it supposed to feel natural?
   When I smile, and have great hopes
   for tomorrow?
   Why does the smile feel plastered?
   And when I look into tomorrow
   I don’t see a future just more dying people.
   Mom
   Do you hear me? Why do you look so empty?
   Your stare is hollow where did your soul go?
   All I see is your physical temple
   That once held your living soul
   What killed you? Why did you give up?
   Life gets me down, but I don’t give up.
   I may see tomorrow filled with dying people,
   But I still plan to live through it
   And find the joys of living in today
   So I can have the strength
   To find the joys of tomorrow

      Classy-my heart aches for you. Perhaps your mother is suffering from depression. I admire your perservearance. Al-Anon has taught me I am responsible for my own happiness. You are too. Continue in your effort to not give up and keep trying to be a light in your mother's life. Blessings.
