ysabetwordsmithThis poem was inspired by the story "Hello, Rachel Eastwitch" by dialecticdreamer. It also fills the "parent" square in my 5-1-18 Gimmicks / Roles / Characters card for the Pro Wrestling Bingo fest. It has been sponsored by bairnsidhe. This poem belongs to the Mercedes thread of the Polychrome Heroics series.
Warning: The backstory includes serious abuse.
"Why I Named My Pet Rock 'Mom'
or, 10 Ways a Smooth Stone Is Better Than an Abusive Parent"
A pet rock is old and has seen it all before.
A pet rock will always be there for me.
A pet rock will listen to anything I tell it.
A pet rock can't stalk me and my family.
A pet rock will never let me down.
A pet rock will never call me useless.
A pet rock will never badmouth me to other people.
A pet rock will never mess with my education.
A pet rock will never hit me, or hit anyone I love.
A pet rock will never pretend to love me and then hurt me.
