This is a poem I wrote today about my anxiety. I feel it important to underline that "Mother" in this case, is referenced to the anxiety that I endure on a daily basis. Later in the poem you'll read about "Father" which is referenced as the strong side of me, NOT God. This is not a suicidal poem (lol.) I hope all who read it enjoy it, but it should be known that I wrote from my heart. Thoughts/feelings about it ARE certainly welcome, however, changes are unlikely to be made (unless there are misspells or punctuation errors.)
Thank you.
ANXIOUS MOTHER
Mother of my burden, Mother of my pain,
Mother of my solitude, Mother of my strain,
Why do you constantly haunt me?
Mother of choice, Mother of fault,
Mother of voice without result,
Why must you delude me?
Mother the beast that mothers the sad,
Mother in me all that is bad,
Why do you beat me down in my heart?
Mother the wicked, Mother the good,
Mother the coward who is misunderstood,
Why do you call when I am most happy?
Mother the sick, Mother the illness,
Mother is me, in my mind in the stillness.
Mother please leave me alone.
Mother the torment, Mother the bother,
Mother all weakness my soul still harbors,
Let me go to the Father.
I wish to be strong. I wish to be wise.
I wish all things good inside of my life.
I wish to be free of the Mother.
Let me live, let me breathe,
Let there be love outside of your leaves.
You hurt me enough.
If you cannot say goodbye, let us live in peace.
Help me through the ache you cause or please just stay away from me.
