She came into our lives like a tornado. She flattens and destroys. Screaming down the love we give. Filling the house with noise. Little cherub face masked with angry rage. What can I do...is this just a phase? She calls me mommy and I'm not sure what to say. Is being her mommy supposed to feel this way? The days drag on and I can't deny. My heart isn't in this and I'm not sure why. I read her a book. I brushed her hair. I held her while she cried, but my mind wasn't there. I held her hand. I cleaned her face. I showed her a cloud. I taught her about space. I know what it is...I can finally see... I'm afraid to love her because... she doesn't belong to me.

Another Woman's Child
She came into our lives like a tornado. She flattens and destroys. Screaming down the love we give. Filling the house with noise. Little cherub face masked with angry rage. What can I do...is this just a phase? She calls me mommy and I'm not sure what to say. Is being her mommy supposed to feel this way? The days drag on and I can't deny. My heart isn't in this and I'm not sure why. I read her a book. I brushed her hair. I held her while she cried, but my mind wasn't there. I held her hand. I cleaned her face. I showed her a cloud.
