Mom

There once was a time when my mom was my hero... but now I'm not so sure.
Is this even the same woman that I once knew? Who is this person that was my mother... my hero? What happened to her? I miss my mom, this isn't her. It looks like her, sounds and smells like her, but it's not. This woman is nothing but a shell of her former self, everything inside rotted away from grief. There's no one to talk to, no one willing to help. I feel confused, scared... alone. There once was a time when my mom was my hero... but now I'm not so sure that she even exists anymore.
