["Mother"]

My ego
is bruised
and callused
from the wear
and tear
of
Your tears
on my shoulder.

The mocking
undertone
of Your
‘sweet sweet’
cradlesong
lulls me
into
a restless,
hellish
slumber.

Since
when am
I Your pillow?

so foul and fair a day i have not seen.  - macbeth act 1, scene 3

Jeez...hard hitting piece you've written here, Jen. I particulary like the ending. It really belts it home. Into the library.

Keep 'em coming and thanks for sharing.

I don't know what to say, I need to think on this one *thinking* Ow!!! Okay, good piece, and very... what's the word... thought-provoking. Way to go!

If you define cowardice as running away and screaming at the first sign of danger, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.

Very good  poem

"The mocking

These are incredible lines

Nicely done here. There was so much power in this one. I truly loved the poem. Wow, you explained it so well. Very nicely done.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
