love the ones who gave you life,
because there is nothing
more heartbreaking
than looking at the one
who carried you beneath her heart
for the first nine months of your existence
and fearing growing too close
I have come too far
grown too strong
to crumble at the mercy
of your familiar and cruel hands.

for the first nine months of your existence
and fearing growing too close
I have come too far
grown too strong
to crumble at the mercy
of your familiar and cruel hands.
