He looks up |

For my son,fighting against the pervasive stigma of mental illness..... He looks up at me seeking motherly wisdom begging me to fight a losing battle. I look down, lowering my eyes in shame from a reborn genetic demon resting its monstrous fingers on my only boy. He looks up at me searching for a world that will not banish him for his differently brilliant, exuberantly troubled being. A world void of stigma; A place he only imagines looking up and away into his humble hopes. Make your words as sweet as honey, someday you may have to eat them. |
