Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge

Her Mind Ran Wild

A family gathered

only one mattered

A birthday celebration

causing elation

For a very spoiled child certainly

The mother’s bordering sanity

Caused her to fret with dismay

Trying her best for a perfect day

No one seemed to notice she stood away

Her too fragile mind, beginning to fray

She went carefully into a quiet room

Away from it all, as the darkness loomed

Only then aware of her mental condition

Returned to the party with renewed volition.

It looked beautiful but not inviting, not the cresting green blue waves she loved as a child. Even being night time she would have seen some sort of movement. No, this was a dark pool just sitting there willing her to come in. The lights of the city no longer beckoned her. After all, he was gone, for..ever, it seemed. All she wanted really, was to be with him, wherever he was. Was this dark blue pool where he was? If she stepped in would it take her to him? What did she have to lose by trying? Everything around her, anything she had now was nothing compared to being with him. She put one foot into the inky mass and it pulled her in quickly.

Thank You

I guess I need to clear things up a bit. I’ve been getting empathetic comments on my last Word Craft Poetry post. I wrote it truthfully but not about myself. It was written to my oldest son who is going through cancer treatment at the moment. Since my husband and I have had three different cancers and his ending in short duration with death, our children are all susceptible.

I know he would appreciate the well wishes and he’s doing okay so far. Thank you all for your concern. I really appreciate all of you as friends here at WP.🥰
