Memoirs of a Mad Woman

For me

There is no more joy

I've lost my little boy

I don't know why this has to be

Why he was taken away from me

So many memories

So many feelings

The pain

The guilt

Sorrowful things

I know he couldn't have

I know he wouldn't have

Done this just to hurt me

Why would he want to hurt me?

Every minute of the past haunts me now

Only if I wouldn't have

Oh my God, I shouldn't have

Said this thing

Done that thing

He never was forgiving

I want to take responsibility for my actions

After all, he was the clay I was given to mold

And I failed miserably!

I'm no artist of the human soul

He's made it perfectly clear

That I failed

I knew that

He didn't have to prove it

"The outcome of the child is the parent's responsibility!"

If all that is so

Then why don't we know

Instinctively

How to do it

Without error

Perfectly?

I blame it on me!

I blame it on me!

It's all my fault!

I did everything wrong!

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!

This just is not fair!

I am guilty

And the sentence is

My son's death

And YOU!… society

See what YOU'VE done!

It wasn't supposed to be like this

He was supposed to work it out

He was supposed to turn out OK

He never gave himself a chance

He never would change his mind

He wouldn't listen to reason

He was so confused

He didn't have enough time to figure it out

What is the purpose in all this?

What?!

I want to know!

I devoted my life to him and that wasn't enough

It was a very difficult journey

That lead to no damn where!

I am so MAD

I am so SAD

Oh God! I don't know what to do

I hate this and I can't stop

I can't change it

I can't fix it

It's over!

Reality sucks

I want to stand on top of the universe and scream

My Son is dead!

My Child is dead!

I want to scream out from the deepest part of my soul

The pain of my inner being

From the maternal depths of my self

Where life comes from

Everything that I am

And was

Is writhing in inconsoleable pain

There is an empty pit in my being

Why Oh Why Oh Why???

What am I supposed to learn from this?

I don't know what to do now

Where do I go from here?

What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?

This wasn't a part of the plan to lose my child

He was supposed to grow up!

Get a life and just be

Like the rest of us

Try to figure it out as he went along

Just like the rest of us had to do

Have to do

I am not finding peace in this anger

Why do I have to be angry?

Why do I have to be sad?

Why can't I just accept this the way it is and go on?

Why can't I have faith in my belief that somehow this was meant to be?

What if it wasn't meant to be?

What if "THEY" are right and there is a HELL?

Sorry, but I can't accept that

Because if that is so

There is going to be too many souls there to count..

Heaven will be a lonely place

It just can't be that way

Where is my son?!

Oh God! Where is my son?!

I am so sorry

I am so sad

Yet I have just become content

Because finally

I am crying
