A mothers love (Or never apart anymore)

The deed is done,

a puddle of red,

or rather

an ocean

of red

stains the floor.

Now to wait

till they

lock me away

in a mental institute,

the body was that of my son.

But they don't get it,

no one does.

This world is far

too cold

and

harsh

for life.

I brought him

into this world,

the guilt overpowered me

for all of his 13 years of life.

To see him ostracized

from everyone

because of the way he looks

and acts

was possibly the most painful thing

I have ever witnessed,

He tried so hard

to join in.

I didn't ever want

to end his life,

never intended to,

but he came home today

still an outcast.

Nothing we tried in the past had worked,

no amount

of discussions

with the principle,

or social workers,

did anything

but **** us over again.

So I stand here,

the ocean of blood before me

with a knife stuck in his chest (about where he heart is)

a noose around my neck, a chair underneath me.

This world is far too cold

and harsh, to survive in.
