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…
