I’m Also Losing My Grip Poem by Margaret Alice

My normal life
has been shattered -
stress overcoming a positive you
is drowning me too
you are the anchor, I turn
my compass in the direction
determined by you, when you
lose your normal sense
of direction I’m left
disorientated and cannot go on
all on my own
if you were less sure of
yourself we would
be able to think for ourselves
but as you normally
order, direct and decide
we lose our ability to
remain independent…
Your strength is waning, my
powers are failing, the
world is falling apart -
all I trust in, all you taught me
comes to nothing, all
because you were lied to
by a false employer …
as you my rock is loosened
I’m also loosing my grip…
