Disappointment I see it in my mother’s eyes I hear it in her voice I feel it in the air The tension is painful It’s sharp like needles against my skin Her words hit me like broken glass “Can’t” “Don’t” “Wouldn’t” “Why”      It stings “Why”      It seeps into my skin “Why”      It creeps through my veins How does a mother’s disappointment explain why? Why?      My brain was asleep Why?      I was on autopilot Why?      My head was full of fog Why?      I wasn’t in control Disappointment. I am everyone’s greatest.

Disappointment
Disappointment I see it in my mother’s eyes I hear it in her voice I feel it in the air The tension is painful It’s sharp like needles against my skin Her words hit me like broken glass “Can’t” “Don’t” “Wouldn’t” “Why”      It stings “Why”      It seeps into my skin “Why”      It creeps through my veins How does a mother’s disappointment explain why? Why?      My brain was asleep Why?      I was on autopilot Why?      My head was full of fog Why?      I wasn’t in control Disappointment. I am everyone’s greatest.
