Scariest Night

I don't know why she did it

it scared me half to death

that knife in the kitchen

 

She just came running

I heard her stomp

my blood was pumping

 

She screamed at me

put it to her throat

and I went from friend to enemy

 

I yelled, "Mom stop!"

"I love you!"

"From your bottom to your top!"

 

Then I heard it clatter

that knife from the kitchen

it was time to talk about the latter

 

I hugged her so tight

she could barely breathe

and that, was my scariest night.

This piece is about a traumatic experience with a mother, and a 5 inch blade. I did go through this and it's made me who I am today.
