Life

It was hard 
Hard to do all the time 
To be a parent to someone that is supposed to be your partner 
To someone that is supposed to be your equal 
It became too much 
To make up in all the places where his parents lacked 

To mother a grown man pushing 30 was a responsibility she no longer wanted to take on 
She was tired of repeating directions the way the a kindergarten teacher repeats the abc’s 
It was not a song that she wanted to sing 
She was over it 

She realized like so many before her, that all her efforts would never take flight on her 
But another…
Another that would receive everything she worked so hard to make better
Kind of like a potter 
That spins the wheel to mold the clay, that borrows the air to dry the clay and then uses the brush to paint the clay and borrows the heat to seal in the color 
So much efforts done for a piece that will be given away 

But she wasn’t a potter 
She did not want to give away her efforts 
She did not another to reap her harvest 
But it was too late of course 
The efforts she made will make a change 
As soon as she were to walk away 

He would see it all clearly 
Everything that she said 
The words that rose above in her silence 
He would hear it all 
He would use them all and be that person 

The right person a little too late

To belong to another…
