Way too young to see
What's going on in Mama's room
What could it possibly be?

The smoke rolls out the door
Clouding up our house
The smell of alcohol and another man
I tip-toe, quiet as a mouse

I begin to cough wildly
As soon as I reach the door
Mama's too high to notice,
Sprawled out on the floor

"Can't you be my mommy for once?
I shouldn't have to be
The one who holds the place together
Cleaning up after you and caring for your baby."

Mommy, I'm only seven
Take care of me! [comments] => 3 [counter] => 255 [topic] => 66 [informant] => lilbabe [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )

Can't You Be The Parent? I'm Still A Baby

Cleaning up after you and caring for your baby."

Mommy, I'm only seven
Take care of me!

You have written this very well. It is sad to know that this is happening. May the angels watch over you and protect you from harm.

Yep, the parentified child, the dependent parent -and so the toxic co-dependency blooms, while another dream sours. You caught the situation well.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
