mom is depressed

Post by creativesoul » August 27th, 2014, 4:34 pm

i dont get it
mom is depressed
i do not understand
stop drinking
your brain is wet
you think inside the boxI HAVE BEEN HER MOTHER MY WHOLE LIFE
MAKING CHATTY SUGGESTIONS
because i am only there to primp her up
actresses egos are insaitable
i do not exist
so i do not get it
clearly
i cannot read between the lines
i love you- i think that is what
you need from me
i have nothing else for you
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

it's easy to forget alcohol is a known depressant....and so those it that trap, continue to do exactly the wrong thing, feed the beast....you can lead a horse to water, but sometimes she prefers bourbon....though depression, alcoholism and isolation can have many causes, the biggest one in my mind is lack of imagination...the yin and yang of that is, artists often fall victim...genius' in their craft, but lost souls when no one is looking...i think Robin Williams may fall into that category

mom is an artist- actress as well- and yes - i do not know what makes her tick- i am sure that she is spun off 77 sunset strip and kookie and his comb- it is all just sizzling- and none of my business- but i have tried to deal with eyore- like i was pooh bear with a tummy full of honey- and i am afraid that i just have nothing more i can say- she is aware of the solutions-i think the beast is eating her head-
one drop at a time
