Without Mom

Alone

By Laura TurnerPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

Without Mom I knew I'd feel alone

But I didn't know I would be alone.

Without Mom I knew I'd be sad and depressed

But I didn't think it would be about this.

Without Mom I thought our family would become closer

But now I realize that nobody wants me around.

Was I only part of things because I had to be there for Mom?

Am I that horrible or annoying to be around?

Am I that unlikable?

I want to go.

To drive.

To fly.

To move.

To nowhere.

To anywhere.

Would they miss me?

Probably not.

Why would they?

They don't want me around anyways.

I'm just me. I love to travel. I've drove a truck for 15 years until arthritis caught up with me and I could barely walk much less get into a big truck. I would love to be able to travel the United States as a tourist.
