Today is life changing A fetus born to a world Naked a bare Mother takes son to share to the world Braces his feet for the ground beneath him She teaches him to walk over Mountains Silence Earthquakes Calm Stormy Seas Till he grows of age and takes his own journey Without his mother, a boy does not become a man She gives him the knowledge to be brute and stand through the cold world around us Shares the secrets of kindness and forgiveness Grudges are never the way to go Just to understand when people can change no more A mother makes you indestructible In a world designed to tear you apart
Today is my 18th birthday. I was born December 30th, 1994 to my mother, Jody. Without her, I wouldn't be me. I wouldn't be writing, and I wouldn't be able to inspire people to be themselves. It's my birthday. I'll spend it honoring my mother.
