A simple piercing look at reality, basically. Honest depiction of obligation, complete with the lows of wishing it would end, to refusal of weakness. It's a pleasure to read your thoughts laid out on a page.

A very powerful write my friend! I could envision my mother with every word, she raised three of us by herself, and always worked two and sometimes three jobs to keep food on our table, but there was never a lack of love or respect. Great write my friend, your words are full of compassion, love, and honesty. Also a very wise write! Enjoyed!
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

"There are moments when I lack the truth inside
When lies wish to drip as sweat from my lip"

Such powerful and poignant words of truth Chrissy....Wonderful!

A mothers bond with their children is a strength deep from within
Nourishing and protecting them no matter the odds...
Very well said Crissy...Young but bold...
God Bless,

So true is this~ I was a single mom with eight children looking up at me! I was the only one supporting! Can't say I remember too much, all I know is that three jobs kept me busy and the rent was paid and their was food in the fridge! I surely know this feeling!
Great Write Chrissy~
Love and Peace~

Very well expressed my young friend. To know the responsibility for others is to know the true value of love, to fulfill that responsibility against all odds is expressing that love in the strongest way. Your poem here captures this so well Chrissy. Hang in the struggle will be worth it.

Yeah, women have an extra gene, the work 24/8 gene..
But those days I push myself up off the ground
And I refuse to be weak, for I�m needed around <----That gene.
Women did get the raw deal, If I was one, I'd have a sex change..

Keep on keeping on, like only a mother can...
