To determine the veracity of this quote

This insight and narrative of my life

I must first determine

Who it is

And where I spend my time

Can we first stop at the word “people”

For in my life that narrows my field

For those whom I spend my time

Includes cats Nacho and ADDy

Whom I love so dear

Would I brave myself or dare myself to say

Both Amazon and HEB provide much interaction

Especially on delivery day

For those actual humans who tether to my time

Include the avoidant and insulting husband of mine

Might I also include

This dear child of mine

Rude rude rude

I cannot even think

I try to begin writing

Catching up to some arranged time

Then the holier than thou husband

Thinking he to be divine

Approaches my door

To invade

And undermine

Now where was I in my thought

Oh yes, the child of mine

I once had the notion

The stance if you will

To resist from claiming soleship

When it comes to this sweet child

I said ours and we quite often

Until recently

What is it that makes her yours

The claim she makes on you

You who she runs to

When her mother refused

And so back to where I spend my time

Isolated and locked up in this room of mine

Fear shackles my escape

The imprisoning guilt lies deep

Thoughts that keep from a restful sleep

Here I sit

Next to my child

Pretending to homeschool

Because it keeps me feeling alive

Returning her to school

Will further narrow my few

And who then will enjoy my time

Alone is where I will return

And what then

The fizzling out

Of my lifetime burn

The phasing out

Of the plan I had

Onto anew

Friends, I desperately need a few

The cats…the child…the estranged older kids

I return

To my own simple mind.
