Dry Ice

Souls grow, only the everlasting knows

Raw and absolutely heart breaking. A beautifully written piece full of such extreme emotion, Andrea. Much love to you!

Thank you everyone for your precious comments.
This was very difficult to write. I was born with birth marks covering my entire body back in 1970. Back then they dry iced them off....which they thought was safe back then.... clearly they do not do that these days...as for my mother...well the poem speaks for itself.. I just wanted to give some background to the title, thank you

Andrea, I'm gutted by this-to have your parent look at you like-"Oh great, I birthed that..." My heart just tore out...hugs my friend-

Ms. Andi, I had to read it twice to understand the poem fully, and WOW, it is such a heart-breaking piece and I cannot imagine that mother's eyes looking at me and mirroring all my flaws. I think that it is a very sad state to be in and my heart reaches out to you. As a mother though, I get that I sometimes tend to transfer the blame to my innocent daughter by scolding her when I feel really bad about my life, which is not healthy and I always in all my control, avoid that. I do believe that a mother's love is incomparable. The world is just a little corrupted sometimes and hugely unfair.
