Semi Colon

Semi Colon

This fight to live continues, while I'm still contemplating why I bother
I think of my son, my brother, my father
My son who needs me
My brother who's sickness doesn't make life easy
Leaving him restless and in pain
Still the will to live, he sustained
My father who I've seen die and come back to life
Still learning but taking everything in stride
Of coarse I think of my Mother
My one and only, unlike any other
Stern yet supportive
She'll never forgive me if my life was short lived.
But still the thought crosses my mind
Trying to get past the past, but I'm stuck back in time
Talking to doctors, who tell me to talk to someone else
Still trying to figure out how the fuck does talking help
Guess I should start somewhere and put my pride on a shelf.

Wow TAMARA!!.... you laid it out there didn't you?!!....... Life can be filled with the trials and tribulations you speak so eloquently of here...... but then, with someone like you, we find the ability to take a step back and write about what it is we're experiencing...... personally, I have been dealing with extreme chronic pain for approaching 7 years now...... and I remember when my poetry was as passionate as yours is here....... Keep 'em comin' dear poet sister!!...... pour your heart out..... speak the truth...... you'll be amazed, in retrospect, at the body of work you've created....... seemingly effortlessly!!....... you're talented!!....... well done......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo
