By Proxy

Stop bearing that cross; you’re gonna need the wood.
She rued the sacrifices of motherhood.

She thrived on everyone’s “poor & pitiful you.”
Everybody’s escaping; leaving her blue.

Yeah…that’s a spun story. For, she dug her pit.
She was a crocodile & her tears were shit.

Only electric when her kids were hurting.
With their lives & disaster she was flirting.

Kept it up & her shoulders froze from the cold.
That cross may be handy, for warmth, when she’s old.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
