Crazy
by Joan SerratelliI'm crazy;
but I'm not nuts
I've lost some brain cells
over the years
EVERYBODY does
It's simply part
of getting older
You might get wiser,
but in essence
We read too much
our eyes have
seen too much...
life
We take care of our children
and how do they repay us?
ANSWER:
They don't
Instead, they forget us
I'm an inconvenience
I have spent the last
thirty six years
trying to be a good Mother
and it's all in vain
They no longer
need me
They call out of GUILT
IF I fail to anwer
Well; They TRIED!
IF I had it to do all over again
...I would
They are my only legacy
a part of me
(whether they like
me or not)
I've given them life
and gotten nothing in return
It's the way I feel today;
FORGOTTEN
nobody calls
nobidy cares
I have nothing they want
When they NEED or WANT something;
they'll call
I'm in desperation mode
but will I answer?
I don't know
Why do I feel the way I do?
I've been down so long
there's no place
to go but up
Like I said;
I'm crazy
