My Wild Grass

Wild grass mowed down
A flower uprooted
A leaf fallen
A house demolished
Where is your life?
Where is your vigor?
Why does this happen?
Why do you wither?
I looked to you
For strength
I turned to you
To learn
Now i see
You wasting away
In front of me
What i behold
With my eyes
I despise
And what i feel
In my heart
Tears me apart
It is inevitable
It is unavoidable
It is unmistaken
It is the end
Of you
My wild grass
Grow free
My flower
Bloom for me
My leaf
Float away
My house
I stand on your foundation

I wrote this when I found out that my mom was sick with a disease, that will eventually kill her. It is hard to watch her fade away from the person she once was.
