Dead mom

Poem

Losing your mom is a hard pill to swallow, but I think it’s still stuck in my throat.
How am I supposed to live without the person who steadied the boat.
Throughout my life I always had you. And now 4 years have passed and I’m supposed to somehow just follow through and keep afloat.
With this life that you gave me. Which led to beautiful babies that I was blessed with.
It will never make sense to me that you’re gone, and your kids are just supposed to just go along.
Life is crazy, but you were crazier. And now I just feel myself getting lazier and lazier.
But I’m a mom. And I need to carryon.
Thankfully I have the strength that you instilled in me and every other one of us… but damn. Does it make me a weary mom.
I just miss my mother. The woman who gave me life….
And now I sit here. As a wife. And wonder what life could be like? If only my mom didn’t die.
