You have created a unique one line poem here. I am sure many can relate to your words. Life does have many challenges we are aware of until we encounter them. Best wishes for the contest.

Wow, that's certainly out there! Yet it's also very funny in a dark, sick way. If only we knew what life was going to have in store for us, hey? I would certainly like to be able to go back and cancel some of the really yucky bits. The messy writing-style text is perfect for the message. Well done.

Love this! It made me smile which is top of my list of requirements. So original and humorous but the mystery lies in whether or not it is intended to be taken that way. Very clever. Thanks for sharing, Debbie

This was hmm..... interesting. A certain mystery to it, though I don't know the background. Judging by the dedication, it has something to do with your relationship with your mom, perhaps? Our work is often subject to multiple interpretations.

This was certainly an avant-garde rendition of the contest topic, and I wish you luck in the booths.

Well, to each their own, right? Your one line was difficult to
ascertain if you were serious or not. But then, your pen name
may be a clue.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

Indeed, life is strife. And yet you have to remember how many lives you have changed to the better. Noone is replacable.
Thank you for sharing!
Good luck in the contest!

Without explanatory notes your poem left me uncertain if you were the child or the birthing mother.

A good poem that clearly expressed your unhappiness. A photograph or illustration may serve to make your words stand out a little more.
