Every year I come upon you
You’re this feeling that I’m forced to feel even though I just want it to be simple
Or normal
If I don’t look at you in the eyes, you stay as a scabbed wound
But when I lift my head and confront it, I feel small & out of control
It’s no longer a wound but a gushing, pouring fall of blood & disappointment
nothing seems to bridge the gap
nothing seems to fill that void
happy mothers day to the people who tried
