My Mother

poem by: Jasmine Barker
Written on Oct 09, 2013

I try to say it isn't real,
Make it go away,
Now i feel alone afraid, 
My minds going astray.

I want it to be over,
All the stress and pain,
I want the sun in my mind,
I'm sick of all this rain. 

I feel abandoned with her gone,
It feels like i am dead,
I really do feel inside out,
Then i lay down my head.

I dream that she is really here, 
Stroking all my hair,
But i really know that this,
Is more than i can bare.

So as i open up my eyes,
And lift my sleepy head,
I know i have to face the fact, 
My mothers really dead.

Earth to earth,
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust.

greg woods commented:
a very real poem. We seek refuge in sleep and when we wake, it hits like a ton of bricks.
Roxanne Dubarry commented:
I have also lost my own mother, June 4, 2007! Therefore, I understand your lose even though it sounds like, your lose is much more recent than mine!
