A Mother's Lament
by Nicole L. Davis Vergara

Self Abuse comes in many forms and for many reasons. WATCH FOR SIGNS, BE AWARE!

When I found her, she was as a doll
the porcelain kind
Kohl black yet slight infractions,
her spider web eyes
Intricacy with a vagueness
something was missing


Her lips a palish blue, silent
appearing to kiss the moon
Her skin was chalked white
all color drained
She appeared to have found frailty's other half
her body motionless, hands seemingly isolated


She is a victim of broken promises,
she lives now in dreams, my dreams
She is my silver bullet,
she is that which haunts, torments me
She is the brine
she the salt of my tears


If only I had listened,
of my heart, my love she was never unworthy
She forever my little star,
no shadow of doubt
You see she is my daughter
bringing home more than a soft knowledge of self abuse

excellent poetry, Nicole ...

Reviewed by Kimmy Van Kooten 4/16/2007
This has to be one of the most heart-wrenching writes I have read in a long while...
"A Mother's Lament" truly is disturbing to another mother...especially having my own teenagers!
At times I can feel their struggles with the new pressures of high school and friends who come and go...the images they conjure up out of misunderstandings...etc...It worries a parent everyday! We must never let a day go by without sharing our wisdom and concerns...staying on top of the problem before they even exists!
Thank you for sharing...I know this had to be very difficult for you to write!
My heart goes out to you and yours...Be Blessed~
Love and Peace~
