"Mama" by Shiela Larson
NELL
Oh child,
Why do you insist on waking me up at night?
Why do you act like a cat and poop
in something I’ve just cleaned for you?
Or make messes in the kitchen and
play with the pots and pans
thinking you’re in a band?
Why do you poke my face with your
finger covered in banana?
Why do I put up with it?
Because when you look at me with
those big eyes, and say "Mama", it
makes it all worth it.

"Fear and Love" by Shiela Larson
NELL
When I first saw you it wasn’t love
at first sight, it was more like
"Hey how’s it going?". We became
friends and had our own lives,
never did I think we had so much in
common. One day I began to notice
you more and more, I started to see
how you really were. You wanted
people to think you were one thing
but I saw through it. You were very
kind, misunderstood, and were in
need of love. It occurred to me you
were in danger, holding on by a
thread and needed to be sewed back
together. Going against what my
brain was thinking and going with
my heart and soul I decided to
pursue you. People judged,
gossiped, and outright hated us.
Trying to pull us apart, they were
almost successful. The fear in us,
the "What if’s?" and "Why are we
doing this?" swarmed our minds. No
matter where we went it followed.
Finally we broke, pieces of us were
scattered around us. Trying to put
myself back together I felt it was
unsuccessful, I needed one last
part to my life, you. Starting to
think about being with you made me
scared, the biggest thought was the
idea of breaking apart again. Love
is a scary part of life, the best
and the worst is brought out of
love. I felt that I would rather be
scared than broken for the rest of
my life. Now I feel whole, being
held together by glue, most likely
there will be cracks in this love,
but the glue will put it back
together again. Fear will never go
away, it will always rear it’s ugly
face around. The fear is different
now. I’ve come to accept it but at
the same time dread the idea. The
idea that I know one day you will
be gone. This fear makes me feel
weak, to know there is nothing I
can do to stop it. The only thing I
can do is make the most of what we
have now and prepare myself for the future.
