Analysis of The thought of mom of a complex child
This fear of big medical journey
Overwhelmed with uncontrollable
Is it the right choice?
Will he want this change in life?
Will never know till this
Journey is complete.
Mind space crowded with worry
We take it 1 day at a time.
Sometimes 5mins at a time.
Anxiety makes an appearance,
Before she attacks.
Then you're grounding yourself
You may feel alone even
When you're not.
Then before you know it is calm
Again for a little while.
And soon this journey will
Just be another hard completed
