The Injustice of Losing Your Home

I feel so much rage at the injustice

Rage at the love I’ve never felt

Rage at the love I thought was real

Rage at my existence

I feel so much sadness at the injustice

Sadness for my kids that deserve better

Sadness for myself for deserving better

Sadness for my parents that deserved better

I feel so much pain at the injustice

Pain for the loss I’ve felt

Pain for the trauma I never caused

Pain for the trauma I have caused

I feel so much regret

Regret at my naivety

Regret for my poor choices

Regret for not walking away

One day I want to feel so much joy..

Joy for watching my kids live their lives independently

Joy for holding my grandkids for the first time

Joy for finally going to home to my mom at the end of this life…

Rage, sadness, pain, and regret are all symptoms of grief… and I never stop grieving for home.
