Sorrowful

Raven J

1 min read

Mama I miss you

The boys miss you

Dad misses you

We’re not ok

I cry randomly

Our hearts hurt

You were our rock

Now we cry and remember the good times

Sad beyond belief

Feelings at our feet

Trying to move on

When will it end

Let the hurt stop

I can’t call or text

I bought your house

Now the memories live on

Mama we miss you

To infinity and beyond...

Mamas Hug

Raven J

1 min read

April 22, 2023-Day 45 on Hospice , she was given 3 months

Right in the middle of med time

I said I’m just gonna jump right in and give you a hug while I can

That was the warmest hug and embrace I think I ever remember having. She gave hugs but to me it felt awkward.

She pulled me closer with what strength she has left and squeezed me, gave me a smooch on my forehead and said she loves me. I can’t...

Til Death

Love is the lie that keeps us alive.

Alive just long enough to die

Til death do us part is the saying

But why does love have to be a lie

The warm embrace of a partner

That loving touch we crave

In and out every single day

I don’t need a piece of paper to tell me who

My ride or die is.

That doesn’t mean anything but a ton of work.

I’d rather be partner for life by choice then ever by the book....

Cancer

The slow nauseating feel when you’re around food

The death to your tastebuds

Losing taste for the things you love

One

You still crave those things

But you only think you know how they taste

The fried chicken you want daily is used for smell

As you can’t taste the Kentucky fried goodness

The mashed potatoes and gravy becomes spicy and unwanted but the craving is still there

The Pepsi y...

Hush little ladies don’t you cry

Mama’s gonna zip those busy lips tied

All day long they scream and cry

Why can’t you behave like my good little guy

He’s quiet and there

unheard and unseen

A quiet proper boy indeed

Unlike you whining three

Tammy, Claire and missy

Come here, give mommy a hug

Used a needle not a gun

The silence is deafening

The noise is done...

The Choice

Raven J

Here it is the final choice to be made

Do you stay or go?

Do they bring joy to your life?

Do they add anxiety and stress?

Do you miss peace?

Feel like you’re missing something?

If you feel any one of them. Let me make this decision easy

Just go…..

If you are even at all hesitant or unsure

Just go

No hate or ill will

I want the best for you

But I want the best for me too

Let me let you in o...

After The Storm

The sky is a very ominous sight

It’s still ……dark

What silence and noise are quietly deafening

The ground and everything is wet

The fence is knocked down

You can hear the thunder rumble, sounding so close

The light show in the sky within the clouds

It’s beautiful in its own way

Grays mixed within black

A pop of pink and purple peeking through too

As is with depression it’s always gloomy an...

Age Of The Honey Badger

Let’s start off by saying iykyk

Energy is the capacity or power to do work.

Have you ever met a 5 year old?

They can be little jerks.

It’s fine, I’m talking about mine!

This age will take you to church.

They’re feral and eat anything in sight

But their favorites are Dino nuggs and veggie fries

It’s about facts and actions.

Rights and freedoms are for everyone.

Little gremlins working day and ...

One In Four

That week I packed myself up in my truck

drove to my sisters and cried

I cried so much

I was drunk

I was wreckless

Toxicity fueling me

Until it happened

The guy I met up with was nice

He smooth talked a broken woman

But when I said “NO!!!”

That’s when he called be a whore.

I was violated

A part of me was stolen

I wanted to die

I felt alone

I felt judged hard

I said nothing

I just went to ...

The big C

The long days and even longer nights.

Up at 3am giving us all the fight.

She’s frail and boney, but feisty as ever.

But damn you if you don’t give her the lighter, you may lose a thumb.

Smokes and Pepsi.

That’s moms thing, take that away

Not knowing what mood you’ll get.

It’s hard watching the memory go

Not remembering who you are.

She’s confused and scared, I can see it in her face.

Talk to her l...
