I did not fall
far from the tree,
I did not fall
far at all,
but if had
these broken bones of mine
would still be me,
I would still be your
broken dream,
& only you could have
caught me,
only you could have
made the difference; then,
but you also fell
close to your tree,
& you fell much further
than I did,
crushing most of
the sanity & sentiment
of good parenting and
Motherhood
,
I did not fall
far from the tree,
I fell and here I
will remain,
the broken bones &
broken dreams
we share
in silence
