Translated…
My Child Always Knocks
in Attempt to Disrupt
Everything I Was Doing
Bathing, Sleeping, Going to the Toilet
In order to Prevent Myself from Hearing that Rush, Like He was
About to Break into the Room, that Annoying Knocking I’d
Stopped Closing My Doors
Since, all the Doors in the House had
Lost Their Original Purposes
The Doors to the Bathrooms
to the Kitchen
to the Bedrooms
to the Lanai
what we need, time away from our families, for nobody else but our selves…not my photo…
They’d Always Opened Up Their Mouths Wide
Chewing on the Naked Me
I Was, Swallowed, then, Spit Back Out
Day in, Day Out, Carrying that
Still Present, Not Yet Disappeared
Teeth Marks
So, this is when a parent felt pressed by her/his own child, because, a child demands a LOT out of us, and sometimes, we just want our overdue five, but we can’t, because the children are, demanding our undivided attention.
if we don’t take time off for oursleves, this may be what will happen! Not my picture…
