Mom

Oh damned
Oh hated
Oh benighted and sad
Your lonely travails mock sanity
Yet you rage
Angry ravings directed nowhere
I am invisible to you
Your only audience
Torment so great in your soul
Torment so awful in my heart
Why do you tear the structure of the universe
Why do you curse the precious life you have
How damaged you must be
How awful the pain that rends your being
So softly hurting
So aggressively angry
You who do this
You who scream
You who scar me
You
My mother
