At the time
I couldn’t understand
why my mother
gave up
I couldn’t understand
why, with so much
life has to offer
she stopped caring
I swore
I would never
be like her!
She’d say,
“Just wait,”
and her entire demeanor
slumped,
“Just wait
until you’re this age
then you’ll
understand.”
I swore
I would never
be like her
The years and the tears
wear me down,
“Yeah, Mum,
I understand now.”
Sometimes I feel
I am becoming
just like her.
