i hope you will write to me
years from now
when you have grown
when i am old
when you are on your own
i hope you will write to me
and remember my love
a heart-changing
lifetime lasting
blessing from above
i hope you will write to me
and realize just how proud
i am to be your mother
just me and you
surviving all the doubt
i know you will always write to me
because your heart is kind
you loved me well
more than i deserved
forever intertwined

im standing, barely
trying to see what's around me
im crying but no one can hear,
not really
people throw their advice at me and it hits hard like ice against my skin
and all i want is for someone to
hear me
to really listen
they keep giving me words i did not ask for
we love you, we’re here for you
keep it; give it up
life is hard; welcome to adult life
i open up to you
but it’s still not enough
you’re the one who sees me cry;
my tears are hidden by my smiles
to everyone else
you’re the one who knows my pain;
my laugh hides the torment
from the outsiders
here i am, standing,
barely
wishing you knew
that i have given you
all there is to give.
