The Truth of A Mater

by Aiona

"Patient" and "kind"

Were not on her mind

When discarding a dress

'Cause I liked it the best.

Jealous of others,

My bitter mother's

Permanent mood

Was always rude.

"I'm better than her!"

"He got his desserts!"

"No, I will not bend."
"Any means to my end!"

Always glued to her phone;

Motto: "Leave me alone."

She never forgives;

Past hurts she re-lives.

Mocks others' misfortune.

Lays blame when it's her turn.

Earth's angels have tried

To save her and died.

To think there's no hope

And sit 'round and mope

Means doubt in God's work.

So I won't be a jerk.

There is nothing I lack

God's still got my back.

A poem about a Woman contest entry

1 Corinthians 13 verse 12 is basically Paul writing to the people of Corinth, "Make sure you're not a narc." Accept that you made mistakes, and do better. Narcs never self-reflect, hence they continue hurting people.

I call this style of poem "DiPesto" -- named after one of the characters in the 1980s show "Moonlighting."
