mom
i am so sorry
i was not ready
and now that i am
mom
i am so scared
how can you ever forgive me
is a lie by omission
still considered a lie
mom
did you know
how long did it take you to realize
i was not going to make this life easy
even though you gave me the world
all of the privilege i could ask for
i would still find a way to make it harder
mom
will you still love me the same way
will you have to grieve the girl i used to be
will you be able to sleep at night
will you blame yourself
mom
it is not your fault
it is no one’s fault
there is nothing wrong
mom
i love this part of me
i love all of me
mommy
please
when you are ready
love this part of me too
love all of me if you can
