Can't Keep Still

Mother

I'm done being your quiet girl. I'm tired of biting my tongue. Filled with rage looking into your eyes, Looking at what I will become. I do not want your broken parts, your fear. I want to always be your good girl, The one that you showed your scars. But you're sick, mommy dearest, And I can't fix you anymore. I have my own garden to tend to now, Filled with scars and doubts. You see, you planted these for me love, And now I must weed them out.

can we ever truly separate our feelings about our mothers’ sadness from our feelings about our own childhood sadness, watching her? our own sadness as women who watch our loved ones marry men like our fathers? our own sadness if we were stuck in our mothers’ lives?
