Mother

She knew she was sick

but she had a life inside of her

termination was put on the table

and quickly thrown off

somedays she didn't know who she was

 

five years ago she knew

athlete

top of her class

catholic

prodigal daughter

 

now she is 

lost

unmarried

with child 

dropped out of college

schizophrenic

 

How could she care for a child

if she couldn't even care for herself
