Paralyzed Mom

Paralyzed Mom

Mom isn't the same

Mom doesn't talk the same

Mom doesn't look the same

Mom isn't the same

Mom has a new name

Mom is paralyzed

Mom, Just Mom, isn't her name

Mom has a new name

Mom is Paralyzed Mom

Paralyzed Mom is always

In her nursing home bed

Paralyzed Mom knows

Her bed is a waiting coffin

Paralyzed Mom has decades left

In her bed that doubles as a death-box

Paralyzed Mom's eyes aren't the same

Paralyzed Mom's eyes are dead

All the life sucked out

Mom is paralyzed

So I'm not the same

I have a new name

Daughter of Paralyzed Mom

I would give anything

for

Just Mom to still be her name
