Happy Hallmark
What a dilemma, why are we lured to fulfill some kindred obligation, motivated by the onslaught of guilt & manipulation? Bridled by twisted dysfunction that shackles any form of sincerity, honesty and a healthy relationship? Denial has become the fog of self-preservation that chokes rationality like a sapling caught in a sidewalk crack. Despair hangs like a brooding thundercloud over senile resentment that holds us indebted to a shallow relationship whose price was a birth canal. Familial expectations of return touch the absurd, rivaling the national debt, and most buckle under the strain. Decades of torment & guilt dog us to our own graves, as the cyclical nature of dysfunction seeps into our lives like a cracked basement on a flood plain. Sure to erode the foundation on which we build our children's future.
Happy Mothers Day?...Fathers Day?...Birthday?...Oh Happy Day?..I think not. Oh sure we've already sent the card, for we are the good children. Exhaling a sigh of accomplishment due to the effort put forth purchasing paper and sweet ink, formulated by a former "Book-of-the-Month" club dreamer.
A once up and coming idealist, who is now spitting out flatulent
pleasentries for Hallmark. Our cards will reside proudly on the mantle of fame for several days, insuring our place as an inheritor of whatever is left of a life that expected more.
Never realizing that the same card will someday rest on our mantle, stained by tears of regret.
