Carita Blodgett Poems

A part of you just wants to be free
You know it to be the same with me

A part of me Knows this cannot be
...

Lonely Is where I lay tonight
I have your love, but still alone despite
Trying to sleep, wondering why I can’t
Have this love the way I had it planned
...

My daughter has autism
And you may find this absurd
I have this perfect child
Who speaks not a word
...

How do I keep finding the strength to go on?
Another day of empty and then another dawn.
My child taken from me,
an never ending hell you cannot see.
...

For all I have lost
Much have I gained
It isn't all hurt and bitterness aquired from my pain
...

It is quiet now
No one to hear this absence of sound
The rush is over, the stress is down
Finally I can breathe
...
