I did a one eighty on my life. No smoking, no drinking, Just air and juice and coffee …and loneliness. I did it for the biggest blessing I’ve ever received. Being a mom is an amazing thing But as my belly grew my friends Disappeared. Like there wasn’t Room for them with my belly In the way. It was fine though, because As he grew I grew too. No more crying in the kitchen Floor or hiding in the laundry Room on dirty laundry that smells Like dog. So we both grew. Now he’s almost two. I’m a person I’ve never been And the best mom I know (not bragging, just saying) And I am so utterly alone. I had a son and kicked out The abusive jerk who would Have taught him all the wrong things And now I have my son but… Are the choices abuse or no one?
