I Can Stop Poem by THEODORE MOSLEY

She hears the heritage of her mind when her father's name is resting before her.

Dreaming of a time when she can focus her thoughts towards her family for guidance.

Her hands are craving the frequent travels that reside with her inner self for torture.

Hearing the sound of her emotions she drowns once again in the spirit of intoxication.

Valued as nothing from her childbirth she becomes one with the idol of her glass.

She takes time to present herself only to prevent herself from living.

Her children are lost in a love that engaged them with promises of love.

Her husband is lifeless with broken dreams of 'honey I will do better'.

Shifting from reality into nowhere she trusts on the idea of her world sustaining time.

I am a grown woman I know how to raise my family and treat my husband!

The pit of disbelief has incited her frustrations beyond normalcy to behold life.

She directs her salutation to herself only to find obstruction of herself.

Her abyss of love is foreshadowed by her hindrance within the tidal wave of her eyes.

I don't need any help I can stop when I want to; this is my life I can stop when I want to; you need to leave me alone I can stop when I want to!
