No turning back …I sing to me …as Mother gets …distraught
Stand firm … rants ‘n raves …usually for naught
No reasoning … her delusion… my … conclusion
Angry …I don’t want to be …between God and me
Escalating … blown away …the INTENSITY
Distracting … CAN find … something new
Probably … NOT … strong as nails …she’ll chew
Spit me out …toss me down …analogy …impromptu
Let’s do this, ask or model, encourage, praise … crow …you’ll swallow
You see my friends, we‘re there …the day after tomorrow!

Stay strong. It’s a hard fight, but through all the ups and downs, even through her roughest moments – she needs you. You can do this.
