The mother is hysterical

Out of control

Her malevolent alter ego

Has taken momentary possession of her soul

She’s shouting obscenities

Her shrill voice echoes

In the hollowed unfurnished room

The scene is all too familiar

But every time it evokes fear

Of the impending doom

*Clash*

She smashes a glass

Shards scatter across the floor

She storms off and slams the door

 

The father speaks to her patiently

Firmly

Tries to reason with her

To make her see sense

Convinces her to not take offence

At every action

To not be suspicious

Of everyone’s intention

When she accuses him of unspeakable things

He loses his composure

Raises his voice,

His hand,

BUT stops midway

He can’t do it

He walks away

 

The boy walks down

A flight of stairs

Out of the house

Away from the chaos

His mother’s loud monologue

Faints, as he moves farther

His eyes brim with tears

His limbs collapse

Perhaps,

He’s better off on his own

He cannot live any further

With his mentally unstable mother

Happy Mother’s day in advance to all the wonderful mommies out there !!

The last picture in the photo album

Takes me back to my early formative years

Memories come flooding back

My wandering mind has a flashback

 

I remember saying all the things

I shouldn’t have

Spiteful words

Filled with rancour

Spat out curtly

My mother, a victim of my rage

Her distress caused no sorrow

I was engulfed by the dark side of teenage

 

The more she tried

The more I rebelled

There was turmoil in her mind

While mine wreaked havoc and was undeniably unkind

 

Freedom was not enough

Nothing could straighten me out

I abhorred the dull routine of existence

Breaking curfew, constant tantrums and brazen acts

Only widened the distance

 

I shudder at the thought

Of how reckless I was

Even the sincerest apologies

Won’t lessen the pain I’d caused

 

But a mother’s heart can never hold grudges

She’s still the same old loving and forgiving woman

I haven’t grown any wiser

Although she’s made me a better human
