Momma Bear

Letting out some aggresion

Ever felt like a mother bear?

So protective over those you care about

That you would protect them in everyway

That you want to hurt those harming them...

Well right now I'm a Momma Bear

Only I'm locked in a cage

Watching them get kicked

Being completely inable to help

Besides telling them to hold on.

I'm tired of watching them hurt

I'm tired of knowing that this

Cage I'm in is self built...

To help them..

But how am I suppose to sit

Here and hold my tongue?

To let this continue

They don't deserve this

But getting involved

It would only make things worse..

I'm a caged Momma Bear

And I'm tired of watching

As my cubs are kicked

I have to read it twice to get the meaning of what you wanted to say..may be because I'm not used to it...indirect way of saying thing...

I love the extended metaphor here of the Momma Bear, and the self built cage. You portray a sense of helplessness well and the emotion really comes through. A great idea to express such feelings.

temperance is a great quality to have. caring is another and maybe more important.
finding the right moment to intercede is always a tricky guess. We here, are your support group, we will not make judgements, so fire away Dupree!

My mom was this bad, had to cage it up. This reminds me of the days of divorce. Mom wanted to do quite a bit and kept coming up empty because my shitneck father would use whatever she said as a way to vault himself into a better place by making her look crazy. We caught some s**t for it, and she had to watch. I'm gonna slide this her way and see waht feelings it shakes in ol Mama Monroe.

Well done

A mama bear is a dangerous animal when it come to their babies. Some hidden story in this poem. As parent hard to see our children hurt for any reason. A excellent poem.
