Shaking My Head... Poem by Catherine Hendry

Shaking My Head...



You tangle everything in your mother’s brain,
Because of YOUR Self-Inflicted pain …
Don’t you have ANYONE ELSE to TORTURE …
She is busy holding down a job, household and family …
And of course, taking care of 2 small boys, is no easy feat … …
You say “I love you Mom” and “I miss you soo much and I’m dying to See my sons” …
HOW? WHY NOW? WHAT’S CHANGED! !
GET CLEAN FOR YOURSELF!

BEG for acceptance, OWN all your wrongs and WORK LIKE HELL to restore The RESPECT you threw away! Be thankful and take notice of the Graciousness and opportunities that have been given to you!
APPRECIATE and GRASP the REALIZATION …
YOUR CURRENT SITUATION IS OF YOUR OWN DOING!
You have never felt hunger,
You have always had your own “cheering” section throughout your life …
You have been given Oh SO MANY opportunities …
Your, life at this point… Is because of YOU! And only YOU!
You can’t blame your imperfections on EVERYONE ELSE!
It isn’t fair to those who have stepped up and filled your shoes …
Those who have been getting up every few hours feeding YOUR baby, Changing diapers, going to doctors appointments, giving medicine and Baths …
Those who have been there to wipe the tears of your 7 month old and 5 yr. old boys … Your 5yr. old craves YOU & YOUR attention …something No one can give him, BUT YOU! !
To feed, play with and do homework and JUST SPEND QUALITY TIME with Your children …
WHERE ARE YOU? !
YOU had a million options … but, YOU CHOSE THIS ONE!
Being an addict is NO fun … it isn’t glamorous … It isn’t “cute”
YOU ALLOW DOPE TO BE THAT WHICH YOU LOVE MOST!
NOT your children, not your Mother, not your family …
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER ANYONE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LOVE YOU!
Last time I checked, England already had a Queen!
So, step down from your self-made pedestal …
STOP the stupidity …
Take care of YOUR children …
THANK and FOREVER RESPECT your Mother and EVERYTHING she has ALWAYS Done for YOU!
YOU, my sweet, beautiful girl … YOU have ALOT to make up for and you Should really start NOW …
