Question:

What do you think of my poem?

This one was actually published, thought I'd share and get your comments. This is dedicated to my Mom who passed away from a brain anurism.

The Dr's say she's under stress,
They say she needs to unwind
Yet her body aches
She gets no rest
They whisper, it's all in her mind.

She returns home feeling the same as she left
For the months the pain lingers on
The Dr's won't listen
They all think she's daft
Then comes her last breath
She is gone

The Dr.'s when they were informed of her death
Had nothing to say that was kind
She's lying there thinking she's dead
When really it's just all in her mind.

I like your poem. Now that your mom's gone, dwell on the good and not the bad for she wouldn't want you to live life resenting others. I, myself, am "dying" and I, too, go to doctors who can't find out what's wrong outside of saying it is MS. Live one day at a time remember the good times you had with your mother, and that she's not suffering anymore. Though she's not around, she'll always be with you .....
