Poem: The Narcissistic Mother
She had everything
all planned out:
doctor or lawyer
Church every Sunday
Living at home
while going to college
Marry a good man
Have lots of grandchildren
Live close by
so she can visit
whenever she wants.
Had dreams of traveling
to other places?
"Take me with you!
I want to see it too!"
The perfect future
one she could brag
to all of her friends
and the rest of the family
the matriarch of them all
and of course they would
take care of her in her old age.
So when they never call
when her birthday rolls around
and never drop by
for milestones and holidays
she curses their selfishness
and wonders where
she went wrong.
