mental illness mama

surrendering to the identification
experiencing the depressive manic states and the abusive stories
releasing the identification

in separating
accepting my mother's mental illness
releasing the idea of separating the illness from the person

children outside calling
hiding inside, needing to grow
taking back the need for life, vitality, succor, holding
releasing
opening
surrendering my constricting detachment, deadness to

mama!

opening
my mouth
releasing my need
I hear it

describing anxiety
as telling me there's not enough
I'm too much
personifying anxiety
personifying me
