It was April and she was the saddest thing under the sun.

my mother recently pleaded with
me to never forget the good
times we shared when i was little
and i don’t think i can ever see
her again, but her father continues to
beg for my forgiveness on her behalf
i don’t think my mother is everything
to me but i know she’s at least half
half of all i may ever be
half of who i was taught not to become
half of myself that i struggle to love
i think of my mother and i remember
all of the dreams of mine that she crushed
i remember all of the parts of me that
she managed to ruin without a touch

this essay was haunting, devastating, and very relatable. but the honesty is what also made it beautiful. I haven’t felt moved like this in a while.

speaking to my mother has never
been something that i’ve been good at
because when i do it
i feel too many emotions
i yearn for a bond that we can never have
and it’s always been difficult for me
to move on from the past
but i no longer wince when
i am told that i favor her
she’s the only person i find myself praying for
i hope she continues to find her way
i hope her pain no longer leads her astray

Love you all. So sorry for the lack of consistent poems, life has been hard. I’ll be back soon.

the hour moved forward
but i am still stuck on what
was said, and i’ve been wondering
ever since if that was truly
what he meant or at worst,
what he felt
you cannot ask me to care
about time if you want me to
exist in his life
just like his words, it’s too awful
for me to ponder about
among all the things i cannot afford
time will always be the worst one
