Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

All the words you told me
Painted the picture you wanted me to see
Reds and blues washed the pages of your story
And you covered your canvas with clouds
Cloud curtains for my eyes

Each intricate illustration
Served to blanket the reality you hid
And perpetuated the fantasy you created
Deceptive smiles wrapped around assuring words
You painted me black as you kept me in the dark.

Sometimes the only avenue we have to release what we feel is through the words we write.  My Mom is very ill right now and in the hospital.  She deceived me about her health so I would not worry when I went on a recent trip.  She succeeded in making me feel better - until I came home and had to put her in the hospital.  

This poem was written about this particular time in my life.  I love my Mom with all my heart and understand the reason behind her misleading me.

I just hope she gets better soon.

I hope your Mom gets better soon, Aziza.

I know that feeling when  truth is not told, sometimes for selfish reasons and other times because they think they are doing what is best.

Well done!

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
